Is anyone else having an issue with the HTTP - Make request module… when it comes to turning on the parse response setting. My webhook picks up something but it seems to have escape characters in it…

It did work at one time and then somewhere along the line it started to add these characters… any suggestions on what to do?

Welcome to the Make community!

You can use the **Parse JSON** module with the “ **value** ” variable.

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

@samliew i tried this too and even with this it’s output doesn’t change. The json is unable to be parsed. I’m looking to see what manipulation I have to do to get it to parse and haven’t been able to get there yet but there are a lot of escape characters. So far it looks like there is a lot of //// and /n in take string. Any other suggestions

For further assistance, please provide the following:

Please provide the **output** bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the [scenario History tab](https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/scenario-execution-history)), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

## A.

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a `bundle.txt` file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

## B.

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles in this manner:

Here are two ways to format text so that it won’t be changed by the forum:

**A. Type code block manually**  
Add three backticks ````` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

> ```  
> _content goes here_  
> ```

**B. Highlight and click the format button in the editor**

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to _replicate_ what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!

No need ive changed a few settings… mainly passing the headers through and turning off JSON parsing (very confusing working by the way)

I see what you mean.

In your HTTP module settings “ **Parse response** ” field, select “ **YES** ” (it is “No” by default)

 ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/7/2/72351f3e5999c8f84e00c518a8bb2f1294314a66.png)

This will allow you to map the response collection properties (variables) in subsequent modules.

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