Service healthcheck — HTTP Request

Poll a vendor's status API and act on the answer (needs internet; loopback targets are SSRF-guarded by default — set FLOWDROME_HTTP_ALLOWLIST for internal services). Auth headers, retries and response capture are all on the node.

What’s inside

3 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
Check request	Inject	`input.inject`
GET vendor status	HTTP Request	`output.http-request`
Status board	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/service-healthcheck-http-request.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Service healthcheck — HTTP Request"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
