Trigger a CloudHub Action

Sends a request to MuleSoft to trigger a CloudHub action.

MuleSoft Environment

Select the environment that contains the CloudHub applications you want to automate.

CloudHub Application

Input method

Select a method to configure the action to be triggered. You can select between a customized manual input or a pre-configured input in the Mulesoft Exchange.

Action to be triggered

Add Input Parameters

Add the parameter details that auto-populate based on the option selected for the Action to be triggered field.

Choose Method

Select or map the HTTPS request method such as GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS, and HEAD.

Specify endpoint

An endpoint relative to the application's base URL. For example, /.

Add Input Headers

Add the key-value pair of headers. You can add multiple headers.

  • Input Header Key: Enter the key, so that Action Flow can add this item to the queue.

  • Input Header Value: Enter the value of the key. You can also select available variables from previous modules while clicking on the field.

Optional: Authorization Type

An optional field to generate the authorization header. This field appears when you select Input Method as the preconfigured Mulesoft exchange input.
