==== Simple Input
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An <<input, input>> that enables you to load static data into a watch's execution context as the initial payload.
|
||
|
|
The `simple` input is useful when the data you want to work with doesn't need to be loaded dynamically, but for
|
||
|
|
maintainability you want 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`):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,json]
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"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 reminder email that's sent every day at noon.

||
|

||
