Configuration
2 fields, none required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
associations Inline every goal and datapoint on the account. Beeminder asks that this be used sparingly; prefer diff_since for repeated polling. | boolean | No | false | — | — |
diff_since Unix time in seconds; return only goals and datapoints created or updated after it. | number | No | — | ≥ 0 | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"associations": false
}Output
One shape.

}See Get Account run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Beeminder connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
