Watcher simple input
editWatcher simple input
editUse the simple input to load static data into the execution
context when the watch is triggered. This enables you to store the data
centrally and reference it with templates.
You can define the static data as a string (str), numeric value (num), or
an object (obj):
"input" : {
"simple" : {
"str" : "val1",
"num" : 23,
"obj" : {
"str" : "val2"
}
}
}
For example, the following watch uses the simple input to set the recipient
name for a daily reminder email:
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule" : {
"daily" : { "at" : "noon" }
}
},
"input" : {
"simple" : {
"name" : "John"
}
},
"actions" : {
"reminder_email" : {
"email" : {
"to" : "[email protected]",
"subject" : "Reminder",
"body" : "Dear {{ctx.payload.name}}, by the time you read these lines, I'll be gone"
}
}
}
}
