How do I add / configure a service?

Expand the box « Dynamic Placeholder Examples » below the ‘save’ button for allowed dynamic fields.

Additionally, you’ll need to check the ‘Is Value?’ column.

How do I add GET parameters to my service post?

Use the placeholder ##GET:{urlparam}## as the static value, which will attach the value XYZ from the url in ?urlparam=XYZ.

How do I add COOKIE parameters to my service post?

Use the placeholder ##COOKIE:{hamburgler}## as the static value, which will attach the value XYZ from the cookie named hamburgler.

What else can I attach?
