Flow designer action step Build JSON turns integer into a string

I want to send an integer in JSON but payload builder turns it into a string. In the action input it is specified as an integer.

Hi @Michael C

unfortunately you have to take the Payload Builder as it is and in most of the cases it doesn't matter as JavaScript is not a type-safe language like Java or C++. That means under the hood, the data in variables is permanently converted to other data types.

But I would like to know what concerns do you have with it? Does the consumer have any issues with the stringified version of the number?

Kind regards
Maik
