Sending data from a sequence to an external tool (HTTP request action)
Written By John Bromley
Last updated 4 months ago
The "Send a Request" step in the Sequencer lets you fire an HTTP request to any external URL at a specific point in a sequence. Use it to notify another system, push data to a webhook endpoint, or trigger a workflow in a third-party tool.
How to add a Send a Request step
- In your sequence, click "Add step" and select "Send a Request"
- Enter the destination URL
- Choose the HTTP method (POST, GET, etc.)
- Add any headers you need (e.g. an authorisation header)
- Define the request body — you can include personalisation tokens to pass contact data
What you can pass
You can include any contact field as a token in the request body. For example, to push a contact's name, email, and page URL to an external webhook:
{ "name": "{{first_name}} {{last_name}}", "email": "{{email}}", "page_url": "{{page_url}}"}Use cases
- Notify a CRM when a contact reaches a specific step
- Trigger a Make or Zapier webhook to kick off a downstream workflow
- Post a Slack message when a contact completes a sequence
- Update a database record when a contact replies
