Request types overview

APIEase supports four request types. Pick the one that fits how you want to call external services, Shopify Flow, or internal system functions.

• HTTP requests: Standard API calls to external services. You define the endpoint, method, headers, and body content.
• Flow requests: Start or continue a Shopify Flow automation, optionally including data pulled from other API calls or the storefront.
• Liquid requests: Run a Liquid template that can call other APIEase requests and shape the output—helpful for logic or combining multiple requests without a custom app.
• System requests: Run internal APIEase functions (for example, set/get/delete persisted variables) without calling an external URL.

Use HTTP requests when you need a direct API call, Flow requests when the action should occur inside Shopify Flow, Liquid requests when you need templating or conditional logic without a custom app, and System requests for internal app-managed actions.
