Butler HTTP Request: GET with Headers

Question

I have been using Butler's HTTP Requests features to POST updates to 3rd party software.  I use the "with headers" option so that I can set HTTP headers which are required for the API.

I am hoping to do something similar but with a GET request.  Is there anyway to pass the "with headers" option on a GET request?  If not, is there a good workaround for this?

@Ryan Carlson if you can't see the option in the interface that means it's not available I'd say, the only workaround I can think of would be to post to a Zapier webhook, add the headers in there and then repost.

You could also do this in Trellinator which runs under Google Apps Script, you can read more about it here:

I stumbled upon this same issue and your question prompted me to try again. And I found a way to do this.

post to url "https://38239.wayscript.io/get" with payload "{\"yourURL\" : \"https://domain.myfreshworks.com/crm/sales/api/contacts/16002233290\"}"

My endpoint has a request module which will provide the header and yourURL  and return a json which will be available to Butler as {httpresponse}

You will notice that there is cardidlong in it. I had put it in the CRM record.
