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

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

"survey_id": "309683094",
"type": "weblink"
}Output
One shape.
result
The provider's response object, as returned.

{}Notes
- Every collector except weblink needs a paid SurveyMonkey plan and the Create/Modify Collectors scope.
- A weblink collector's public URL comes back as `url`.
See Create Collector run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the SurveyMonkey connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
