Description

Hi, I'm probably just being stupid...

I have a bunch of post requests I have to make. It's a common URL, with the only variable being a case number. The way I have it right now is I have multiple Post Agents setup. Each one with its configuration configured.

The better way would be to have one Post Agent, and use liquid templating to grab the case number from an incoming event. And... that's where my stupidity takes over? I don't seem to see a way (outside of a JS Agent I guess) to just send a list of events on a schedule? Smth like:

[
 {
    "case_number": "abcd1234",
    "name": "name01"
  },
  {
    "case_number": "aaaa1111",
    "name": "name02"
  },
  [...]
]

Thanks

Research direction
Implement a scheduled event emitter that reads a list of events from a JSON file or a data source agent, then emits each event with case number and name to trigger a Post Agent using liquid templating.
