STEP 1
Select HTTP in workflow
Pick HTTP app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
HTTP Integration
Call any API or web service, even one without a native app. Send requests and download files, with your choice of authentication. Bring HTTP into visual workflows so engineering operations do not depend on glue scripts. Start from Download a File, then trigger Make a GraphQL Request or Send a Request.

Supported triggers and actions for HTTP integration
Triggers can detect changes in HTTP and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside HTTP automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Download a FileDownload a file from any URL for use in later workflow steps.
- Make a GraphQL RequestSend a GraphQL query or mutation to any GraphQL endpoint and receive its data and errors.
- Send a RequestSend a request to any URL and receive the response.
How to integrate HTTP in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your HTTP connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect HTTP
When prompted, authorize access to HTTP in WEXTL once. HTTP credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
HTTP Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your HTTP account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with HTTP yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect HTTP to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How HTTP connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever HTTP app is called in workflows. That allows your developer tools automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that HTTP supports.
The following table illustrates what fields HTTP integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Connect HTTP to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with HTTP below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with HTTP. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with HTTP integration
Select Download a File action from HTTP - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in HTTP, workflow will start [7] from Download a File node.
Search for Send a Request, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Download a File and Send a Request, so only important data pass from Download a File to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of HTTP automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
HTTP on WEXTL has 3 modules for creating developer tools automations. Explore HTTP documentation for more.
Video slide demonstrates how Download a File and Send a Request [6] nodes are used in HTTP workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating HTTP in your workflows.
HTTP has no triggers, but it provides 3 actions including "Download a File", "Make a GraphQL Request", and "Send a Request". Pair them with triggers from other apps to automate HTTP tasks.
Integration has 3 actions, including "Download a File", "Make a GraphQL Request", and "Send a Request". Refer to our HTTP Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The HTTP integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by HTTP official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where HTTP provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever HTTP or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for HTTP inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with HTTP modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
