# Parse JSON **Introduction** This step converts a JSON string into a structured format based on a specified schema, enabling the use of JSON content within automations. **Configuration** 1. **Content**: Input the JSON string that needs to be parsed. This is a required field. 2. **Schema**: Define the schema that describes the expected structure and type of the JSON content. The schema should match the structure of the JSON string to be parsed. This is a required field. **Outputs** * **Content**: The parsed JSON content, structured according to the specified schema. If the JSON string does not match the schema, an error is generated. **Usage** Ideal for processing and manipulating JSON data retrieved from APIs, webhooks, or other sources, allowing for the extraction and use of specific data elements within automations. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
