How can i put the custom_payload in external file ?

[johnico]

im using a json custom_payload

my question is how can i put the payload in a separate json file and print it but also with all the tags inside

I wanted to do the same thing - I had a look at the source code and it looks like the text within the custom payload is just eval-ed so I did it by writing the json payload I wanted to a file in a prior step and then setting the custom_payload attribute like this

custom_payload:  JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('pathToFile.json', 'utf8'))
