Configuration
4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
method The method's dotted path, as ERPNext registers it. | string | Yes | — | — | erpnext.stock.get_item_details.get_item_details |
http_method Which verb to call it with. Frappe restricts write methods to POST and PUT. | string | No | POST | one of "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE" | — |
params Arguments to send in the query string. Lists and objects are JSON-encoded, which is how Frappe reads them. | object | No | — | — | — |

Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

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