How to Structure Custom Object Data in Power Automate Desktop?

(0) ShareShare

Hi everyone,

I'm stuck and could really use some help!

In Power Automate Desktop (PAD), I currently have a custom object that appears as a single long string when viewed in the variables pane. When I click "More" on the right side of the string, I can see more structured data, which is divided into numbered items. Within each item, there is additional metadata that I need to extract and use.

My goal is to structure the custom object so that I can work with the individual items and their metadata. Ideally, I’d like to parse this data into a format that allows me to iterate through the items and use their properties (e.g., IDs, titles, etc.).

However, I can’t find a direct way in PAD to transform this custom object into something like a JSON object, array, or table that I can process further.

Does anyone have experience with this or know how to structure custom object data in PAD? Any guidance, examples, or scripts would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help. 😊

    It depends what type of data you are storing, maybe you need try with parse text and using Regular expressions will work for you
