HTTP Function

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).
