Respond to HTTP request - Automate.ax

respondToHttpRequest completes a request received by onHttpRequest with waitForResponse: true. Use it to return a custom status, headers, and body to the caller.

Example

automations/http-response.automation.ts

import { automation, onHttpRequest, respondToHttpRequest } from "automate.ax"

export default automation("Respond with JSON", () => {
  onHttpRequest({ scope: "automation", waitForResponse: true })

  respondToHttpRequest({
    status: 200,
    headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({ accepted: true }),
  })
})

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Default	Description
`body`	`string \| Blob \| null`	No	No body	Response payload.
`headers`	`Record<string, string>`	No	`{}`	Response headers.
`status`	`number`	No	`200`	HTTP status from 100 through 599.

Every input accepts a compatible signal. The action returns Signal<void>. The ingress request waits up to ten seconds. If this action does not produce a response in time, the caller receives 504, although the automation may keep running. Pair this action only with a waiting HTTP trigger in the same execution context.
