Configuration

10 fields, 3 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

Notes

  • An Airtop session is a live cloud browser and bills for as long as it runs: end it with airtop.terminate_session, and set timeout_minutes as a backstop.
  • This call is billed in Airtop credits. cost_threshold_credits and time_threshold_seconds cancel it if it runs long; 0 disables a threshold.

See Type Text run in a workflow.

In a technical demo we add the Airtop connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
