You can trigger a custom action for that and call your API to query your db from there. You can find information about custom actions here: actions

You can use the Requests library inside a custom action to make calls to your HTTP API.

It could be something like:

r = requests.get('https://my-company.com/api/employee/<Employee Number>')
