HTTP Request with Form Data - Data Flow Template

Overview

This Data Flow template is made up of two Data Operations that allow app builders to make an HTTP Post request to an API.

In Connection Builder, Data Flow templates can be found with pre-populated sample data. However, to meet the requirements of their Journey, app builders should perform the necessary adjustments, such as adding other Data Ops.
