I wanna send a HTTP request with a token.  
But the token need to be gotten from another request, because it will change after some time.

So,Could I run some code in webhook?  
like:  
`"params" : { "token" : "{{JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get('a.com','/cgi-bin/token?xxx'))['token']}}" }`

A watch supports multiple inputs, using the chained input type. This would allow your watch to run the ES query, _and_ reach out to an external system to retrieve the current token. Then you can just template in the token in the webook.
