Capturing a value from a REST Response Body in Flow Designer

[Chad R]

Hi All,

Another good one, I'm working on a REST API Bridge of sorts via flow designer and I have created a custom action with some script steps and REST step that accomplishes this. The script step is where I have an issue that I'm trying to parse out the response body and get the record number that was just created in instance b from instance a. First lets start with the response body: 

{"result":{"body":{"message":"Creation Success!","detail":"CNDT-INC2201988"}}}

The part I want is in the detail section the record number CNDT-INC2201988 here is what I have scripted so far in the script step on the action but its not returning a value:

The responseObject segment is where I'm fuzzy on exactly how to write that line, I haven't been able to find much on it either. Any help anyone can provide would be much appreciated!

Hi @Chad R 

As per your response body JSON structure ({"result":{"body":{"message":"Creation Success!","detail":"CNDT-INC2201988"}}}),  In your script change line number 7 to this.

outputs.ensono_id = responseObject.result.body.detail;

If this didn't work, log the response body using gs.info() and give the structure.

gs.info("Response Body: " + JSON.stringify(responseObject));

@AnveshKumar M ,

I'm on similar situation.

Creating a custom action & trying to retrieve u_partner_ticket_id from the response body.

I have tried both,  But no luck.

outputs.correlation_id = responseBody.result.u_partner_ticket_id;

outputs.correlation_id = responseBody.result.body.u_partner_ticket_id;

Also on incident, Description is not fetching group name.

Not sure why it says '[object GlideRecord] '.

Please suggest
