The Json Mapper action is one of the actions at your disposal to work with Json data. JSON Mapper enables you to extract a value from a JSON or a JSON array.

The action will be able to query/extract data from a JSON input using a JSONPath expression and save it to a variable.

Overview

The action is used to filter the Json data that we will import in our process for future use.

Input Field 1: “Input JSON” - Input your JSON object / Array or a data model.

Input Field 2: “Query” - The Input Jquery expression for obtaining the desired key value of your Json input.

Output Field1: “Result” ( JSON Object value corresponding to the query)

How to

1. Create a new process and give it a name.

2. Drag the Json mapper action to the canvas and link it to the other actions.



3. Add the needed variables.



• <%input%> will contain the JSon data, the default will use

[ { "name": "Eric", "invoicenumber": "INV99901", "duedate": "2021-08-30T07:00:00.000Z", "amount": 122.45, "phonenumber": "0700000000", "emailaddress": "employee@procesio.com" }, { "name": "Chris", "invoicenumber": "INV99902", "duedate": "2021-08-03T07:00:00.000Z", "amount": 144.99, "phonenumber": "0711111111", "emailaddress": "otheremployee@procesio.com" }, { "name": "Diana", "invoicenumber": "INV99903", "duedate": "2021-08-30T07:00:00.000Z", "amount": 99.99, "phonenumber": "0722222222", "emailaddress": "employee@procesio.com" } ]
