API Request - Functions Widget

The API Request widget allows users to interact with any external system and Flow Studio in real time. This widget in the flow allows them to make a request to an external service either via POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, or PATCH methods, and then save the response as Flow variables to personalize their flow depending on the data.
