The HTTP module enables you to send the results of your Workflow to any endpoint you choose.

What It Does

  • Sends Data: Transmits all inputs and outputs from every module within your Workflow.

Example Workflow

Consider a Workflow that includes the following modules:

  1. Webhook Trigger

  2. Render Template Module

  3. HTTP Module

Input

This module takes three parameters:

  1. Url: The endpoint where you want to send the data

  2. Method: The HTTP method you want to use (fixed to POST)

  3. Content Type: The content type you want to set (fixed to application/json)

Output

When this Workflow runs, the HTTP module will send a JSON payload containing all the inputs and outputs from these modules. For instance:

{
"video": "https://shotstack-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/footage/night-sky.mp4",
"SHOTSTACK_VIDEO_URL_1": "https://shotstack-api-v1-output.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/wzr6y0wtti/718d0336-8126-4e25-8a39-1d25d69858a7.mp4"
}

Important Notes

  • Request Method: Currently, the HTTP module only supports POST requests.

  • Adding Extra Data: To include additional information in your payload, make sure to declare these fields in your Trigger module.
