Send HTTP get request

This Trigger sends an HTTP GET request to a specified URL. It can be used to send a REST-style request to a third party. To use this Trigger, select:

  • Enable retry checkbox if you want to enable retry options for the trigger. By default, this option is disabled. If you select the Enable retry checkbox, you must input values into the following mandatory fields.
    • Status Codes — Set status code on which you want the HTTP retries to happen. It can be a comma separated values of status codes as well as a range of status codes. For example, 302-400,500.
    • Number of Retries — Set the number of retries allowed for the trigger. The maximum number of retries must not exceed 3.
    • Retry Interval — Set the interval (ms) between two subsequent retries. The maximum retry timeout value (Retry Interval * Number of retries) can be configured using MaxHttpRetryTimeoutInMins shared.property. Default value of MaxHttpRetryTimeoutInMins is 1 min.
  • An Integration Link field (which includes a dynamically generated destination URL template).
  • A timeout (in ms) for the HTTP request

You can immediately debug your Trigger by selecting a record to run it on (click the icon). This sends the HTTP GET request to the generated URL and displays the results in a popup window.

Note:
  • You must create at least one Integration Link field before you can use Triggers of this type.
  • Result of HTTP GET request is stored in shared variables, see HTTP triggers.
