Webview URL

You can also configure the “Webview URL” data source for data manipulation at the application level. The webview component is a mobile app-integrated browser utility that has limited web browser capability. When you configure the Webview URL data source, you can use the HTTP and HTTPS protocol schemes. While configuring Webview URL data source, you can define GET and POST HTTP requests.
