Convert CSV file to JSON

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by karenlacey 58
Hi, I have created a flow which converts a CSV file into JSON. however the JSON file is not in the correct format required. 
 
 
It is creating the .JSON file in this format 
 
 
 
It should look something like this
 
 
Any ideas around this?
 
Thanks
Karen

    Can you show the actions you are using to convert the CSV to JSON?  There are third party actions that can do this, but nothing built in that will do it directly.
