Using variables in responses in http calls

Shopify Flow
1

Hello!

It’d open up so many use cases if we could use http call response data in further actions. I guess there’s a specific reason for not to as fetch calls are also prohibited in run code functions but I want to hear opinions.
A test call could be made while adding the http call step, and variables to save in the responses could’ve been picked by us, can be limited up to 10 variables per flow.

Is this possible to achieve? Are there any workarounds on this other than leaving the rest of the flow to an external api server?

Partners can build a task extension that returns data, as documented here: About actions

We obviously have reasons why this doesn’t exist now as part of Send HTTP request or Run code/fetch. But we are working to add support for one or both.

Thanks Paul! Ability to do it without an extension setup would be a great flexibility addition to the latest features Flow gained.
