Request Template
The Request Template FactBox on the Bifrost Playbook card holds the JSON request that the step selected in the Steps part sends to its operation. You can edit it directly in the FactBox, or open it in a larger editor.
A value written as @ followed by a path is filled in when the step runs, from what the playbook has collected so far: for example the initial request, values saved from earlier steps, or the current item when the step iterates over an array. A single step with an empty template sends the playbook's initial request.
To see which parameters an operation accepts, ask for its description with Help.Implementation.Get, or look it up on the Bifrost Message Types page.
