Hi Ekta,

You can refer to these videos :

you can have async insert or update BR on your custom table and consume the REST Message from the script.

refer links below for help

Business rule to generate outbound REST, and update current record with a value taken from the REST ...

Hi Sandeep,

Can we just hit the API ( of Vendor and which I intend to test) just like we test any API from Postman?

Hi,

Without creating REST Message you can test in background script

check this
