Unable to iterate using WebhookResponse and Advance Branching

Amish Khatri

I have a web service that will return data in the form of JSON depicted beow.

I have created a new JIRA Automation Rule that uses "Send Web Request" on Issue transition from "To Do" to "In Progress".

When I use "variterate" to get "WebhookResponses.last.body" I indeed receive data but the problem is the rule doesn't reiterate. I expect to iterate under "For Each" steps in Advance Branching, but instead, it just goes inside once that's it and comes out, though I have 4 test objects in JSON. I am seeking help to fix this issue.  

(Figure 1)

The below steps "desc- {{variterate.description}}
- {{variterate.get(0).description}}
- {{variterate[0].description}}
- {{variterate.0.description}} "

Doesnt print anything after multiple tries. 

(Figure 2)

Web Service Response :

[
{
"title": "Happy Path - Recurring Payment Setup",
"description": "User sets up a recurring payment with valid details",
"expectedResult": "System saves the payment details and sets up the recurring payment successfully"
},
{
"title": "Expected Error - Missing Payment Details",
"description": "User tries to set up a recurring payment without entering all the required payment details",
"expectedResult": "System shows an error message about missing payment details"
},
{
"title": "Expected Error - Invalid Payment Details",
"description": "User enters invalid payment details while setting up a recurring payment",
"expectedResult": "System shows an error message about invalid payment details"
},
{
"title": "Test Edge Cases - Maximum Recurring Payments",
"description": "User tries to set up more than the maximum allowed recurring payments",
"expectedResult": "System rejects the request and shows an error message"
},
{
"title": "Test Edge Cases - Minimum Recurring Payments",
"description": "User tries to set up the minimum allowed recurring payments",
"expectedResult": "System saves the payment details and sets up the recurring payment successfully"
}
]

Hi @Amish Khatri  ( @ameesh khatri  )

It appears you are using two different accounts, so I mentioned both.

 

Have you confirmed the response body is both valid JSON and the automation rule recognizes it as a list of values?

You can do this with a test, writing this expression to the audit log after the Send Web Request action:

the count of items in the body is: {{webResponse.body.size|0}}

If the result is not the record count you expect, the body content is not parsing as a list.  Instead it is likely plain text, or an array represented as text.

 

If it is not a list, you may use text functions, such as match() or split() to first parse the body into a list for use in the branch.  Once inside of your branch you may use additional text functions to examine the data you believed to be represented as JSON fields.  To learn more about those functions, please review this documentation.
