Send Webhook

Send an HTTP POST request to a public HTTPS URL, so a workflow can hand data off to an external system.

What It Does

Sends the body and headers you configure to the URL you specify, using an HTTP POST request. You can set a custom authorization header and value, plus any additional headers the receiving system needs.

When To Use It

Use this to integrate with external systems that AskElephant doesn't have a dedicated node for, such as triggering an action in a custom internal tool or posting data to a third-party API. The destination must be a public HTTPS URL.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
URL	The destination URL. Required. Must be a valid public HTTPS URL.
Body	The data to send in the request body, as plain text, JSON, or any other format. Leave empty to send no body.
Auth Header	The name of the authorization header, such as `Authorization` or `X-API-Key`. Defaults to `Authorization` if left blank.
Auth Value	The authorization value to send, such as `Bearer YOUR_TOKEN`. Required if the receiving system needs authentication.
Headers	Any additional headers to include in the request.

Outputs

The node passes these values downstream. Check the Outputs tab on the configured node to confirm exact paths.

Variable	Type	Example
`status`	`number`	`{{nodeId.status}}`
`success`	`boolean`	`{{nodeId.success}}`
`request`	`object`	`{{nodeId.request}}`
`request.url`	`string`	`{{nodeId.request.url}}`
`request.headers`	`object`	`{{nodeId.request.headers}}`
`request.body`	`string \| null`	`{{nodeId.request.body}}`

Example Workflow

After a Run Prompt node generates a summary, use Send Webhook to POST that summary to an internal automation tool that isn't directly integrated with AskElephant.
