Configuration
5 fields, 1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
bitlink The Bitlink to act on, as domain/hash (bit.ly/2kZDMbT) or the full short URL. | string | Yes | — | — | bit.ly/2kZDMbT |
unit The size of one time bucket in the returned series. | string | No | day | one of "minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month" | — |
units How many of those units to look back over; -1 covers the whole history. | number | No | -1 | ≥ -1 | — |
size Maximum number of rows to return in the response. | number | No | 50 | ≥ 1 | — |
unit_reference ISO-8601 timestamp of the most recent point to pull metrics for; defaults to now. | string | No | — | iso8601 format | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"bitlink": "bit.ly/2kZDMbT",
"size": 50,
"unit": "day",
"units": -1

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