The HTTP Node in Refold is designed to make HTTP requests to the external APIs in the workflow. This node simplifies the workflow by allowing you to create direct HTTP requests.

## Node Functionality

HTTP node is like an external API call function within the workflow. It can:

* Call an API of your system in workflow; &
* Call an API with dynamic params values from other nodes;

## Steps to Use HTTP Node

The HTTP Node is configured to interact with the APIs of the integration that the workflow is based on. Here’s how to set up and use the HTTP Node:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the HTTP Node">
    In your workflow, drag and drop the HTTP Node from the list of available nodes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the HTTP Request">
    Once the HTTP Node is added, configure the request details like `Method`, `URL`, `Body` etc. to match the API of the integration.
  </Step>
</Steps>

By utilizing the HTTP Node, users can efficiently manage API interactions within the scope of the integration.
