AI Agent: makeHTTPRequest support pasting a cURL command
W
Wilson Tan
Business Problem:
Currently, users must fill in every part of an HTTP Request by hand — method, URL, headers and body — in both Workflows and AI Agent actions. Most API providers already give a ready-made cURL command, so users break it apart and retype each piece. This is slow, error-prone, and mistakes usually appear only during testing. respond.io already shows requests as cURL in the AI Agent event log, so the format is already in the product.
Desired Outcome:
Let users paste a cURL command and have the method, URL, headers and body filled in automatically. Any field can still be edited before saving.
Use Cases:
- Paste a CRM's cURL example to set up an AI Agent action in one step.
- Move a request that already works in Postman into a Workflow without retyping it.
Current Workaround:
Copy the method, URL, each header and the body into the fields one by one.
