Convert

Parses a JSON string into a structured object, making its fields accessible to downstream nodes via expressions.

Properties​

PropertyRequiredDescription
InputYesThe string to parse as JSON. Supports expressions

Behaviour​

  • If the input is a valid JSON string, it is parsed into a JavaScript object and passed downstream.
  • If the input is already a structured object (e.g. from a previous node that returned JSON directly), it is passed through unchanged.
  • If the input cannot be parsed as JSON, the node fails.

When to use it​

The HTTP Request node's ResponseBody output is a raw string. If the API response is JSON, you typically want to parse it before accessing individual fields. Place a Convert node after HTTP Request and pipe ResponseBody into it.

HTTP Request → Convert → If/Else

After Convert, access response fields with:

{{ $nodes['Convert'].field.nestedField }}

Replace Convert with the actual node name.
