# HTTP

## Use cases

Below you will find typical use cases for HTTP(S) integrations and how they are implemented in Frends.

### Synchronize CRM data to database nightly

By using the schedule trigger and the [`Request`](https://docs.frends.com/tasks/tasks/http/request) task we can create an integration that makes custom HTTP(S) requests to a CRM system and saves the results to a database.
