Flow designer error : JSON string

[Averyy]

Hello,

I am working on a flow to be triggered when a supervisor approves the submission of a document from a new hire. 

I keep getting this JSON error

Any suggestions? (I am not the most exp dev at the moment)

[-O-]

JSON.parse expects a string as parameter, and fd_data.trigger.current.payload (assuming such a field exists) is not a string, but an object (of "type" GlideElement).

This situation makes JSON.parse freak out.

All in all I'd try

var payload = fd_data.trigger.current.payload.nil() ?
	{} :
	JSON.parse(fd_data.trigger.current.payload.toString());

again assuming field/column payload does exist and it contains a valid JSON.

This will make payload end up being either an "empty" object or the object in the JSON.

@Averyy Update the script as follows and see if it works.

var payload = JSON.parse(fd_data.trigger.payload);

Thank you! This created an error when testing

Hello @Averyy 

If possible can you share snapshot of flow and snapshot of payload field & payload data ...??

Hello all apologies when I created this post I left out a lot of info. I have since recreated the post.
