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. ### HTTP Request Action Features - Both HTTP and HTTPS are supported - POST, PUT, PATCH, GET, DELETE methods are supported - Full support for HTTP Basic Authentication - Any Payload can be defined and it supports [Environment Variables](https://buddy.works/docs/pipelines/environment-variables) and Buddy Params - It’s possible to specify request headers and their values - Timeout option sets maximum time for the action to wait for a response - it's 60 seconds by default - Input fields: EndpointURL, Login, Password, UserAgent, ContentType support [Environment variables](https://buddy.works/docs/pipelines/environment-variables) - The action can be configured in [YAML mode](https://buddy.works/docs/yaml/yaml-gui).
