A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A team wants a clickable link that passes a field value to an external lookup service. Which workflow action type does Splunk document?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
Sending a value to somebody else's web page is a request for information rather than a change to their system. The simpler of the two HTTP methods fits that, and it survives being pasted into a browser.
Why D
Splunk states that GET link workflow actions drop one or more values into an HTML link, and that clicking that link performs an HTTP GET request in a browser, allowing you to pass information to an external web resource such as a search engine or IP lookup service.
