=== Input

A watch _input_ loads data into a watch's execution context as the initial payload.
Watcher supports four input types: <<input-simple, `simple`>> , <<input-search, `search`>>,
<<input-http, `http`>> and <<input-chain, `chain`>>

NOTE:   If you don't define an input for a watch, an empty payload is loaded into the
        execution context.

Watcher: Add chained input ``` Chained input for now works like this { "chain" : [ { "first" : { "simple" : { "foo" : "bar" } } }, { "second" : { "simple" : { "spam" : "eggs" } } } ] ``` This allows to access the payload via ctx.payload.first.foo for example The array notation is needed to guarantee order, as JSON itself does not guarantee order of objects.
