I don't see anything wrong with it since I've done it for previous arrays with similar content. Any ideas on what is different with the error array than the successful one?

    @xyvic 
    So in the array example that is parsed successfully, all the elaments bring 'name' attribute; while in the array example that thows an error when parsing, all the ellements nut one have 'name' attribute:

    {
     "type": "EXAMPLE",
     "parts": [
     {
     "text": "that is it thank you"
     }
     ]
     }

    If you expect elements with 'name' attribute and elements without 'name' attribute, you should use the array example that is currently throwing an error as the input example for your 'Parse JSON' action block, in order to generate a schema where this attribute is optional
    Hope this helps
