I am new to pipedream, I am using a Trigger which received a json object such as:
{
name: username,
email: emailvalue,
msg: message,
date: value
}
and afterward I want to send those values to airtable, however, if I just do {{steps.trigger.event.body}} I get everything and if I do {{steps.trigger.event.body.name}} then it is blank. I figured maybe I’m missing an intermediate step where I process the json object? I’m unsure…
Hello @luigiadvance, could you share the screenshot of your event body?
I suspect that your event body is a string (containing the JSON object) instead of the JSON Object. I’ve tested with the JSON body and it works find in my side
I think it definitely is a string, I went around this by doing: const BodyObject = steps.trigger.event.body; and passing on the BodyObject to the next step and then doing things like:
{{steps.code.$return_value.message}}
how can I get the object instead of a string? sorry I can’t provide a screenshot, I changed my code since
I think it depends on your code that send the request to Pipedream. The code might stringified the body before sending the request
It literally comes from a trigger in pipedream itself, it receives a value like:
{
name: username,
email: emailvalue,
msg: message,
date: value
}
but then it’s stringified
Hello @luigiadvance,
You can use Pipedream’s code sample in the trigger to see how to send the request to Pipedream
import http.client
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection('your-pipedream-webhook-here.m.pipedream.com')
conn.request("POST", "/", '{ "test": "event" }', {'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
I would suggest you to check the code where you make the request to Pipedream to see if it stringified the request body before sending to Pipedream.
