HTTP Function | Tila Help
HTTP Function
The HTTP Function tile is designed to connect to external APIs and perform HTTP requests directly within your Tila scenario. It allows you to integrate third-party services, send and receive data, and use the results in subsequent steps.
What does it do?
Lets you make HTTP requests to external services directly from Tila. Use it to integrate with any public API — retrieving, sending, updating, or deleting data in real time.
When to use?
Use this tile when you need to:
- connect an external service or database via API,
- automatically receive and process responses from third-party systems,
- integrate additional data or functionality into your scenarios (for example, weather, CRM, notifications).
