Request HLR
messagebird.request_hlr
ActionVoice & SMSconnection required
Calls the MessageBird API with the connection's credentials.
Ask the mobile networks whether a number is live and which operator holds it. The query is asynchronous: this returns an HLR object with status 'sent', and the answer arrives on the report URL or from the Get HLR node.

{}See Request HLR run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the MessageBird connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
