How to convert a collection to JSON

How To

I have a flow that returns a collection, which I then need to feed as a JSON parameter to another module. So far I set it up like this, but it looks like the JSON object is not produced as a result.

What can I fix?

I have the following path: Collection > Transform to String > Parse JSON

It returns an object of a type:

{
   "parameter": "value"
}

and what I need is the

{
    "graph": {
        "parameter": "value"
    }
}

so that I can later plug the JSON from “graph” into another module (without the “graph”, just the JSON)

Instead of “Transform to JSON”, try using “Compose a string”…

Then insert the desired JSON into the field:

{
    "graph": {
        "parameter": "value"
    }
}

and map the parameter variable where the value is in the string above.

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

Thanks but it doesn’t work. It says " * Collection can’t be converted to text for parameter ‘value’."
