Error:o.Detail:Unexpected token:o in flow designer action

[devendranarun]

Hello All,

I have written the below code snippet in my Actions in Flow Designer.

var response = inputs.parameter;
var obj =JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(response));

outputs.employee = obj.EmployeeNumber;
if(outputs.employee)
{
outputs.iscontractor = 'no'
}
else
{
outputs.iscontractor = 'yes'
}

Action input type is String.

I am receiving an Error "Error:o.Detail:Unexpected token:o"

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Arun Devendran

Hi,

which line is giving error?

if your input is string then why to stringify again?

Hello Ankur,

Thanks for replying.

I have made modifications;

var response = inputs.parameter;
var parser = new JSON();
var obj = parser.decode(response);
outputs.employee = obj.EmployeeNumber;

This is working fine now.

Thanks,

Hello Ankur,

Used JSON.parse() before using stringify, but it didnt work.

This one parser.decode helped solving the issue.
