Proxy API Request

Make authenticated outbound HTTP requests to any third-party API from inside a workflow

Overview

Make authenticated outbound HTTP requests to any third-party API from inside a workflow. Call actions with automationType, action, and params from any workflow node that supports automations.

Authentication

• Per-request authentication (Bearer token, Basic auth, API key header, or none). Optional outbound proxy for geo/IP-restricted APIs.

Available Actions

The Proxy integration exposes a single generic HTTP request. Configure method, URL, auth, headers, and body in params. Click any example for a ready-to-copy payload.

• POST JSON
• Async (for slow targets)
• GET with Query
• PUT JSON
• DELETE

Examples

Example 1: Proxy - POST JSON

POST JSON to httpbin.org

{
  "automationType": "proxy",
  "nodeId": "proxy-post-001",
  "nodeParams": {
    "params": {
      "apiMethod": "POST",
      "apiURL": "https://httpbin.org/post",
      "authenticationSelect": "Bearer Token",
      "bearerToken": "webhook-secret-token-123",
      "contentType": "application/json",
      "responseType": "json",
      "enableHeaders": true,
      "headers": [
        {
          "name": "X-Webhook-Source",
          "value": "plura-automation"
        }
      ],
      "requestBody": true,
      "requestBodyJson": {
        "event_type": "purchase_completed",
        "user_id": "user-123",
        "transaction_id": "txn-abc123",
        "amount": 9.99,
        "currency": "USD"
      },
      "timeoutMs": 55000
    }
  }
}

Example 2: Proxy - Async (for slow targets)

Use async+callbackUrl for slow targets (api.plura.ai, Salesforce) to avoid timeouts. Returns immediately; result POSTed to callbackUrl.

{
  "automationType": "proxy",
  "async": true,
  "callbackUrl": "https://your-app.com/api/automation/callback",
  "nodeId": "proxy-async-001",
  "nodeParams": {
    "params": {
      "apiMethod": "POST",
      "apiURL": "https://api.plura.ai/v1/lead/sendtoworkflow",
      "authenticationSelect": "Bearer Token",
      "bearerToken": "YOUR_TOKEN",
      "contentType": "application/json",
      "responseType": "json",
      "enableHeaders": false,
      "requestBody": true,
      "requestBodyJson": {
        "workflow_id": "...",
        "lead_id": "...",
        "record": []
      },
      "timeoutMs": 120000
    }
  }
}

Example 3: Proxy - GET with Query

GET with query params to httpbin.org

{
  "automationType": "proxy",
  "nodeId": "proxy-get-001",
  "nodeParams": {
    "params": {
      "apiMethod": "GET",
      "apiURL": "https://httpbin.org/get",
      "authenticationSelect": "None",
      "contentType": "application/json",
      "responseType": "json",
      "enableHeaders": true,
      "headers": [
        {
          "name": "Accept",
          "value": "application/json"
        }
      ],
      "requestBody": false,
      "queryParams": {
        "user_id": "user-123",
        "include_metadata": "true"
      },
      "timeoutMs": 55000
    }
  }
}

Example 4: Proxy - PUT JSON

PUT JSON to httpbin.org

{
  "automationType": "proxy",
  "nodeId": "proxy-put-001",
  "nodeParams": {
    "params": {
      "apiMethod": "PUT",
      "apiURL": "https://httpbin.org/put",
      "authenticationSelect": "Bearer Token",
      "bearerToken": "user-api-token",
      "contentType": "application/json",
      "responseType": "json",
      "enableHeaders": true,
      "headers": [
        {
          "name": "X-Update-Source",
          "value": "automation"
        }
      ],
      "requestBody": true,
      "requestBodyJson": {
        "preferences": {
          "email": true,
          "sms": false
