How to extract html body as a variable from the value in a given JSON sample

Posted on by 147

I am collecting log entries in the Team's chat and after several "Parse JSON" actions I end up with the core "Body" from the log which looks like that:

 

 

[
 {
 "name": "Module",
 "value": "<p>NewProductNotification</p>"
 },
 {
 "name": "Message",
 "value": "<p>New entity created, but could not find a child Item and cannot send a mail to the Product Owner, sending to CCAddress if applicable...</p>"
 }
]

 

 

The last mile should be straightforward: Parse JSON once more using the above data as a schema template, select from the parsed body the name and value and use them. It works for the Module but not for the Message

I tried the following method to extract the message in my sandbox without success. I tried to convert the Message to the plain text but I can see as input only <p></p>

How to get the whole piece of the Message and save it as a variable. I want to use it later to save it in the SharePoint list and also convert it to plain text.

    Hey @Michal 

     

    Your message is in the 2nd object [1], not the first [0].  Therefore you are looking for:

     

    body('select')?[1]?['message']
