mattshin opened a new issue #14906: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/14906
**Description** I propose that the SimpleHttpOperator also take an argument like `xcom_function` or `xcom_transformation` that describes a lambda or single-variable function that takes as input the response to the http request and uses the output of the function for the xcom push. alternatively, the existing parameter xcom_push can be modified to take in both Booleans and Callables. if provided `False` or `True`, behavior is unchanged. If provided a single variable callable, the function is applied to the response. **Use case / motivation** Sometimes we want to XCom push a portion of the response, and then use that portion in a templated xcom pull, where we do not have access to things like json deserialization. Currently the best way to do this is to have a middleman task that takes the response.text xcom from the httpoperator, applies the transformation and then pushes the result. **Are you willing to submit a PR?** Yes **Related Issues** None that I could find -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
