2

Execute Request

Make the HTTP call

3

Handle Response

Parse and route the response

Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication methods are supported?
The template supports Bearer tokens, API keys (in headers or query params), Basic auth, and OAuth. You can configure these in the HTTP Request node settings.
How do I handle API errors?
The workflow includes error handling with a condition node that checks the response status. Failed requests are routed to an error handler where you can log, retry, or notify.
Can I make multiple API calls in sequence?
Yes! You can chain multiple HTTP Request nodes together. Each subsequent request can use data from previous responses using variables like {{http-1.response.id}}.
