Request (HTTP Form Post)

This property box lets you specify what information you want the HTTP Form Post activity to post to a web form.

To configure a request

  1. Add the HTTP Form Post activity to your workflow definition by dragging it from the Toolbox Pane and dropping it in the Designer Pane.
  2. Select the activity.
  3. In the ClosedRequest property box, configure the information you want to request.

  4. Next to URI, provide the URI component of the web request's URL. The URI is used in combination with the host name and port to create a complete URL. Click the Token button (right arrow) to use tokens.
  5. Choose a method from the drop-down menu. The method you choose will depend on the Web service's API.
  6. Next to Timeout, specify how long the activity will wait for a response from the Web service. If the time period is exceeded, the workflow will report a warning for this activity and continue. Click the Token button (right arrow) to use tokens.
  7. You can test your request by clicking the Test Request link. More info.

    8. Important: You must configure the Form Data property box before testing your request.
