Flows that call external APIs and organize into folders
Fetch data from other systems inside a flow, test the call right there and organize everything in folders.

The API Request block calls an external service, reads the JSON response and stores fields as flow variables, with Bearer, API key or Basic authentication from a simple menu. A Test button shows the response and lets you click the field you want to use. Flows gain nested folders, with drag and drop.
What you gain
- Query other systems and use the answer in the conversation
- Bearer, API key or Basic authentication from a menu
- A Test button with a clickable response
- Nested folders and drag and drop
API Request
- The block calls an API, reads the JSON response and stores fields as variables
- Bearer, API key or Basic authentication, without typing headers by hand
- Flow variables can go into the URL and the body
Test without leaving the editor
- The Test button runs the call and shows the response
- You click a field in the response to bind it to a variable
Organization
- Folders inside folders to group flows
