Export Externally

Send workflow data to an external HTTP endpoint and return its response status, headers, and body.

Use it for business systems or webhooks that accept JSON. Structure the request body as required by the target API.

Configure the request

Setting

Output

Description

status_code

HTTP response status

headers

Response header object

body

Raw response body; not necessarily a JSON object

For HTTP 4xx or 5xx responses, the node still returns the status and body. Downstream steps must inspect both the HTTP status and business response to determine success. Network or response-reading failures cause a node error.

Example: submit extracted data

Flow: Information Extraction → Export Externally → Conditional Branch.

Choose POST, enter the endpoint, and construct its required body. Check whether status_code falls within the endpoint’s accepted success range and handle other responses in a separate branch.
