restAsyncPost
A Workflow Engine function that makes a HTTP POST request with a JSON payload to a named REST
endpoint. Expects the payload from a previous action, for example, from the convertToJSON
function that converts an event, alert or Situation to a JSON blob. Returns false
when no payload is found.
restAsyncPost is a non-blocking asynchronous call which returns true
to
the workflow immediately. It is best for a 'data sink' use case. It does not support setting
authentication or other HTTP request fields or attributes.
This function is available for event, alert, and Situation workflows.
