  • Postman Flows is an API workflow builder for logically connecting APIs. Use Flows in your Postman workspace to chain requests, handle data, and construct real-world workflows. In today’s video, I will be implemented a couple of use cases using Flow from Postman and while configuring the flow, I will be using many building blocks from Postman flow.

    Hi ! thanks for your tutorial on Postman. I just got access to the feature Flow in Postman. I`m new at using Postman, is it only for testing or could I use Flow to control API automation with triggers(Webhook), rules, schedule and send data to database ?

    • @TechnicalPotpourri
      @TechnicalPotpourri  Год назад

      Yes you can do all these things like API automation with triggers, rules, schedule etc. etc. I will be publishing videos on this topic soon. So please subscribe to my channel to get updates.

      @@TechnicalPotpourri Is it possible to get data from the webhook that's triggered in a flow. I can capture data from my database XANO but the latency is really high. Is there a way to get the same data that's triggered by the webhook ?

      Very good question. I haven't tried this, but can't think of any reason of this is not possible. Let me try this and I will publish a new video covering this one.

      Save your API response as example to get the suggestion for response data in Flows

      Agreed. Save the API response.

    I'm getting a "Request URL is empty" for both of the Send Request calls. How do you validate the first two API calls?

    • @TechnicalPotpourri
      @TechnicalPotpourri  2 года назад

      You need to save the api call under your collection. Definitely test before save. And then refer the same saved api call in the flow.

    why when I create a public workspace, the public workspace automatically changes to a private workspace within a few minutes? what is the setting to make the workspace always public?

    • @TechnicalPotpourri
      @TechnicalPotpourri  2 года назад

      In the Overview tab, select Workspace Settings. Under Visibility, select Public from the dropdown list, then Request to Change Visibility. Once you make a workspace public, all entities within that workspace become publicly accessible through the workspace.

    how to you save and obtain the format from response in postman flow?, my output in block send request only describe body is string and this is no configurable

    • @TechnicalPotpourri
      @TechnicalPotpourri  2 года назад +1

      If the response is in string, then as of today it is not possible to parse in configurable way. You need to pass it to some other call to parse and send the information you need as response. So for your scenario, it will be chain of api calls.
