* 1. (string) project_gid, workspace_gid, task_gid (only if triggered on a task)
* 2. (function) log - this behaves like console.log and takes any number of parameters
* 3. (object) *ApiInstance - for each group of APIs, an object containing functions to call the APIs; for example:
*    tasksApiInstance.getTask(...)
*    goalsApiInstance.addFollowers(...)
