Task Engine | Qntrl | Bridge | Online Help | Execute API's hosted in private network

Task Engine

In Qntrl, while public APIs can be configured and executed directly through Webhooks, the client's internal APIs that are exposed only to the local network can be executed using the Task Engine module in Bridge. The Task Engine configured in Bridge can be utilized in the following two modules within Qntrl.

  1. API Lookup field - Search for specific information in a large amount of API response data and extract the desired information. Check API Lookup for more details. 
  2. Circuit - Within the Circuit workflow, the Task Engine is utilized to execute tasks that necessitate access to APIs within a restricted environment. Check Task Engine for more details.
