Watcher simple inputedit
Use 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" : "to@host.domain", "subject" : "Reminder", "body" : "Dear {{ctx.payload.name}}, by the time you read these lines, I'll be gone" } } } }
