HTTP and webhooks
Any API, any tool, connected to your email
No dedicated integration for your tool? Call its REST API from a workflow, with the secret stored once in a connection. And let any tool that can send a POST request start a workflow.

What you can automate with HTTP and webhooks
Triggers
What starts a workflow.
-
Webhook received
Starts the workflow on a POST to the workflow URL.
Actions
What a workflow can do next.
-
HTTP request
Calls an external API and puts the response into the working data.
Workflows you can build
Each one starts from a real situation and uses only nodes that exist today. Test it on past emails before you publish it.
-
Push a lead to your CRM
The contact’s details are extracted from the enquiry and sent to your CRM’s API.
- Email received
- Extract
- HTTP request
-
Answer a web form by email
Your site posts each form to the workflow, which drafts a reply from the mailbox you choose.
- Webhook received
- Compose (AI)
- Send as draft
-
Check your own system before replying
The order status is read from your API and used to write an accurate reply.
- Email received
- Extract
- HTTP request
- Compose (AI)
- Send as draft
How to connect HTTP and webhooks
Store the API secret once in an API key connection: the server applies it at call time, and it never appears in a workflow, a run or a log.
Before you start
- For a protected API: its key, token or credentials, and how it expects to receive them.
- For the webhook trigger: a published workflow, whose URL you give to the calling tool.
- Open Connections and add an API key (HTTP) connection: a header key, a bearer token, a username and password, or a URL parameter.
- Add an HTTP request node, enter the method and URL, and pick the connection.
- To be called instead, start the workflow with a Webhook received trigger and give its URL to the calling tool.
