How do I extract just part of a 'webResponse'

I have the following from a 'Send Web Request'

WebhookResponseBean{status=200, statusCategory=SUCCESS, headers={Connection=[keep-alive], Content-Length=[350], Content-Type=[application/json], Date=[Mon, 30 Dec 2024 23:01:01 GMT], Server=[Werkzeug/3.1.3 Python/3.13.0], Via=[1.1 ip-10-125-126-85 (squid)], X-Cache=[MISS from ip-10-125-126-85]}, body={message=To archive......

I just want to extract anything after the message=

How do I do this ( So I can add it as a comment on an issue )

Thanks in advance

Hi @SGC Associates Ltd and welcome to the Community!

You'll want to use:

{{webResponse.body.message}}

Thanks for that

But doesnt seem to work, I have tried variations but to no avail

Is there a way to use something like javascript etc ?

Many Thanks

I was trying to find documentation for this, but it's embarrassingly scant:

• Jira automation actions - Send web request 
• Automation for Jira Server (on-prem) - Send web request action now provides response data (Even though these are docs for the on-prem version of Automation, the concepts apply, however you will want to use {{webResponse}} instead of {{webhookResponse}} as mentioned in the docs.

Probably the best documentation is from Automation itself:

How do I access web request response values in subsequent rule actions?

To access the response data you will need to select the 'Delay execution' checkbox above.

On successful web request, you will be able access response data using the following smart values:

• {{webResponse.status}} returns the response code e.g. 200
• {{webResponse.statusCategory}} returns the category of the response status - INFO, SUCCESS, REDIRECT, CLIENT_ERROR, SERVER_ERROR, OTHER
• {{webResponse.headers}} returns the response headers that you can access using dot notation e.g. {{webResponse.headers.Content-Type}}
• {{webResponse.body}} returns the response body, if the body is a JSON object then you can access values using dot notation e.g. {{webResponse.body.name}}
• {{webResponses}} returns a list of the 10 most recent responses this rule received. E.g. {{webResponses.last.body}}

Hi @SGC Associates Ltd, I'm sorry to hear you're having issues. If you can, it'd be helpful if you can take a screenshot of your rule or at least the parts with the web request and the part for the Comment.

This is an example of what should work in your case:

Hmmmm, actually, considering what you posted includes Webhook... maybe you're on Data Center (on-prem)? Sorry my bad for ASSuming you were on Cloud.

If you are on Data Center, you would want to use:

{{webhookResponse.body.message}}

Just takes a few seconds to add !

Many Thanks

Hi @Darryl Lee 

Is it possible to convert webResponse.body into a dictionary so that I can use the following smart value code:

{{#webResponse.body.asList}}
"{{name}}": {{value}}
{{//#}}

I need it so that I can output whole body as json into comment without dot notation since I am not sure what can be value names. 

Something like: 


{code:json} {{#webResponse.body.asList}}
"{{name}}": {{value}}
{{//#}}
{code}
