HTTP connector

Call any external REST API from your automations — with full control over headers, authentication, request body, and query parameters. Use it for APIs that don’t have a dedicated Collabase connector.

Authentication

Auth type: None (configure per-action) The HTTP connector does not use stored credentials. Configure authentication inline within each action.

Actions

HTTP Request

The single action on this connector handles all HTTP methods.

Field	Description
URL	The target URL. Supports `{{variables}}`.
Method	`GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, or `DELETE`
Headers	Key-value pairs. Use for `Authorization`, `Content-Type`, etc.
Body	JSON string or raw body for POST/PUT/PATCH requests
Query Params	Key-value pairs appended to the URL

Outputs:

Field	Description
`status`	HTTP status code
`body`	Parsed JSON response body (or raw string if not JSON)
`headers`	Response headers
`ok`	`true` if status is 200–299

Example — call a private REST API

[HTTP Request]
    url: https://api.yourapp.com/v1/users
    method: GET
    headers:
        Authorization: Bearer {{secrets.apiKey}}
        Accept: application/json

To use secrets in HTTP headers without hardcoding them, store the value in an automation variable using a Set Variable node, then reference it as {{varName}} in the header value.
