Http Request

You can make requests to any HTTP API using Cobalt's Request step. This is useful for connecting workflows to your application's internal API, or with any REST APIs in general.

Configuring URL Request

You can enter the request URL in the input under "Request URL". You can also include parameters as part of the URL by typing {{ to invoke the variable menu.
The variable menu allows you to reference data from upstream steps in your request URL. For example, we can pass a userId from the Trigger into the request URL, which is represented as: /users/{{1.event.userId}}
