Why each option
When a Splunk workflow action type is set to 'link', only the GET HTTP method is available, as link actions navigate a browser to a URL with optional query string parameters.
Link-type workflow actions open a URL in a browser and use the GET method to pass field values as query string parameters appended to the URI. GET is the appropriate HTTP method for hyperlink navigation and does not support a request body, which is consistent with how link actions work.
PUT is an HTTP method used for updating resources and is not available as an option for link-type workflow actions in Splunk.
Search is a separate workflow action type for launching Splunk searches, not an HTTP method available under the link action type.
UPDATE is not a standard HTTP method recognized by Splunk workflow action configuration.
