Overview

The Custom API task calls any HTTP API from your workflow: set method, URL, headers, and body. Use it when no dedicated integration exists.

How to use

Add a Platform tool task and select Custom API.
Pick an action (e.g. GET, POST) and enter the URL. You can map URL segments, headers, and body from trigger or task outputs using placeholders.
Handle authentication via headers (e.g. Bearer token). Do not hard-code secrets in shared templates; use workflow secrets or a prior task that supplies a token.

Test with a manual run and inspect the task output for status codes and response bodies.

Connection

This tool does not require a team connection. Add it as a Platform tool task in your workflow, choose an action, and map inputs from the trigger or previous tasks.
