🌉Custom API

Custom API actions enable you to connect to an external system outside of Plumber. This is helpful if your workflow involves interactions with an external system.

The implementation might require some changes on the system that is receiving raw data from Plumber, speak to the system owner or pass this guide to the relevant stakeholders to facilitate the process.

If you wish to whitelist traffic from Plumber, please specify the following IP addresses

• 52.76.216.61

• 52.74.55.209

• 18.139.42.66
