Using JSON for Complex Data
JSON is the primary format for handling complex data structures in Make.com. Understanding how to work with JSON will help you build sophisticated automation scenarios.
JSON input
You can retrieve JSON data directly from the Input field in a Make.com workflow using the JavaScript variable input. For complex data, create a JSON object in the Input field to structure multiple values.
| Field | Code |
|---|---|
| Input | [{"First name": "Henrik", "Last name": "Foo"}, {"First name": "Moritz", "Last name": "doo"}] |
| JS code | return input.filter(i => i['Last name']).map(i => \ ${i['First name']} ${i['Last name']}\).join('; '); |
| Output | { output: 'Henrik Foo; Moritz doo' } |
Make sure that your input is a valid JSON String and not A Make Collection. Learn how to
Transform a Collection to JSON.
Construct JSON in Make.com
You can retrieve JSON data directly from the Input field in a Make.com workflow using the JavaScript variable input. For complex data, create a JSON object in the Input field to structure multiple values.
Example:
- In Make.com, choose the Create JSON module and define a data structure.
Make.com Custom JavaScript JSON Parameter Example
The output from the JSON module will be passed into the JavaScript module.
- Add the customJS Execute inline JavaScript Code module.
- In the JavaScript code field, access the data using
input.json.firstName:return input.json.firstName;
- The Output field will return:
{ "output": "John Doe" }
