In the Target menu, you can choose between a GET and POST request - choose the option that best suits your needs.

Then set the HTTP URL to send the request to. We’ve opted for ”https://httpbin.org/get” for our demo here.

Remove a button by clicking on the “Remove” button.

When you are done configuring the module, hit “Save”.

Then, you’ll see your new set of buttons ready to be clicked.
