REST request
This block enables communicating with REST services, i.e. it calls the REST WebService.
Double-clicking on a REST Request block opens a special pop-up window: REST Request, where you define the settings.
The window can be divided into 2 sections:
- Header or general information with fields to enter
- Tabs: Body, Authentication and Custom headers
