Get files data from a nested collection

How To
5

Hi @OmriNyx,

This is not really a bug with Make.

Square brackets in JSON key names are very bad, it shows poor webhook design.

To get around this, you will need to set the Webhook “JSON Pass-through” to YES (it is “No” by default), when creating or editing a webhook.

Then, you will be able to replace the square brackets in a Parse JSON module.

Then, mapping the msaFiles variable (now without the square brackets), won’t have any further issues and will contain the values.

Module Export

You can copy and paste this module export into your scenario. This will paste the modules shown in my screenshots above.

  1. Copy the JSON code below by clicking the copy button when you mouseover the top-right of the code block

  2. Enter your scenario editor. Press ESC to close any dialogs. Press CTRLV (paste keyboard shortcut for Windows) to paste directly in the canvas.

  3. Click on each imported module and save it for validation. You may be prompted to remap some variables and connections.

{"subflows":[{"flow":[{"id":132,"module":"json:ParseJSON","version":1,"parameters":{"type":""},"mapper":{"json":"{{replace(1.value; \"/\\[\\]\"\":/g\"; \"\"\":\")}}"},"metadata":{"designer":{"x":683,"y":-311,"name":"Webhook Square Bracket Fix"},"parameters":[{"name":"type","type":"udt","label":"Data structure"}]}}]}],"metadata":{"version":1}}

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
