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.
