Hi Ashay,

You can always create a service task that performs REST calls.
It's just a Java class, so everything you want to do with Java logic is possible.

Best regards,

No, but any example online with HttpClient, Spring RestTemplate, etc. works just fine in a JavaDelegate, as long as you include the those libraries on your classpath.
