HTTP Request

What it does

This action triggers an HTTP endpoint also called a webhook. It is mostly used to connect Buddy pipelines with a 3rd party services.

How it works

The action requests a URL in a way defined in the Action Settings. It waits for the sever response. In case of the response error or time-out, the whole pipeline execution will be marked as failed.
