Tutorials: Tool Widget: HTTP Request

The HTTP Request widget goes under the tools category in missio™ Canvas.

Introduction

Required access: Voxtelesys Portal

The HTTP Request is a very powerful widget and once you master it you will be pulling and pushing data to your database's to help automate transactions!

This widget allows the designer to interact with external web applications. For JSON response payloads, the data is parsed and accessible via call variables in subsequent widgets. The parsed variables are accessible via the >widget_name<.parsed variable prefix. For example, if the response JSON is {“make”:”volkswagen”,”model”:”jetta”,”year”:”2000”} then to access the JSON year field the designer would use .parsed.year.

*Disclaimer: You will need to have Voice API enabled on your account to do this you will need to open a ticket with support.
