How do dataset, webhook, and dry-run delivery work?
Dataset output is the billable surface when rows are written. See live PPE for which events bill. dryRun true validates or samples without the usual dataset/webhook side effects described on the Store schema. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE.
What does a result contain?
Published README Output Example / Sample Output JSON. Treat README samples as illustrations, not a live coverage guarantee. There is no published output JSON schema on the Store page.
