Here the possible settings:


- URL: Enter the web address to call. You can use the fields link to add fields in the url like email subject, addresses, and much more.


- Do you need to add header value: You can add a key and a value in the http header call, generally it is used for authentication. You can add only 1 key and 1 value. 


- You can post JSON value: If you want to transfer some data, just add it here in JSON format, like in the UL you have access to the full list of email fields like subject, attachments name, addresses,…
