💡	Note: You can copy the “Service endpoint URL” from the earlier Service REST.

Methods Tab

GET Method

In the Methods tab, for “Get”, under the “Response”, for the “Message Data”, specify it as follows:

💡	Note: There is nothing to configure for the “Request” since this particular service of ours does not have any inputs!

POST Method

Similarly, for the “Post”, configure the “Request” and “Response” as follows:
