ApiCallAction

ApiCallAction

Purpose Makes an HTTP request to an external or internal endpoint. Used for webhooks, REST integrations, or third-party APIs.

M2M Token Support When making HTTP requests, ApiCallAction automatically generates and includes an M2M (Machine-to-Machine) token in the request headers. The token includes a hash of the request payload to prevent token reuse and expires after 15 minutes. This enables secure inter-service communication without requiring user session tokens.

When to use it

• afterMainOperation (any CRUD type)
• afterBuildOutput (for outgoing notifications)
