a GET workflow action Steps
* Navigate to Settings > Fields > Workflow Actions.
* Click New to open up a new workflow action form.
* Define a Label for the action.
The Label field enables you to define the text that is displayed in either the field or event workflow
menu.
19
Labels can be static or include the value of relevant fields.

* Determine whether the workflow action applies to specific fields or event types in your data.
Use Apply only to the following fields to identify one or more fields. When you identify fields, the
workflow action only appears for events that have those fields, either in their event menu or field
menus. If you leave it blank or enter an asterisk the action appears in menus for all fields.
Use Apply only to the following event types to identify one or more event types. If you identify an
event type, the workflow action only appears in the event menus for events that belong to the event
type.
* For Show action in determine whether you want the action to appear in the Event menu, the Fields
menus, or Both.
* Set Action type to link.
* In URI provide a URI for the location of the external resource that you want to send your field
values to.
