Frequently asked questions
What is HTTP + Enveu?
Custom HTTP integration. Call any external API or receive webhooks from any system not covered by built-in plugins.
What authentication methods does the HTTP plugin support?
Flow's HTTP plugin supports Bearer token, API key (header or query param), Basic auth, and unauthenticated requests. Credentials are stored securely in the Flow vault and injected at runtime.
Can Flow receive incoming webhooks from any external service?
Yes. The HTTP incoming webhook trigger gives you a unique URL that any external service can POST to. Flow parses the payload and makes the data available to downstream workflow steps.
Can Flow parse and extract values from HTTP response bodies?
Yes. The parse response action supports JSONPath expressions to extract specific values from API responses. Extracted values can be mapped to variables used in subsequent workflow steps.
Does Flow retry failed HTTP requests automatically?
Yes. You can configure automatic retry logic for HTTP actions - specifying the number of retries, backoff interval, and which HTTP status codes should trigger a retry.
