# Introduction

The receive data from another app step allows you to receive data sent through our API, an integration, or a third-party service such as Postman, Power Automate, Google Apps Script and much more. This can trigger automations and allows data from your request to be used within your automation.

You can use this step to:

  • Trigger an automation via an API.
  • Pass data to automations via a POST request.

This feature is limited to certain subscription levels, see pricing for more details.

# Configuration

The options below allow you to configure this step to your workflows specific needs.

# API credentials

Click on an item to copy it to your clipboard. This provides essential information for your API requests.

# JSON payload example

An example payload that the automation is expecting when triggered from an external service. To perform a POST request, you'll need information from the API credentials section.

See our API documentation for more details on triggering your automation via webhook/API.

# Test data

To test your automation manually, or before your external trigger has been set up, use the test data option. Once enabled, this can be used to add mock data to your automation.

[["A1", "B1", "C1"], ["A2", "B2", "C2"]]

When you click run on your automation, this data will be used in place of data received via the API.
