To get all the records as a numbers list from an API and avoid receiving them as
[Object, Object], you need to ensure that you're correctly accessing and parsing the API response. When you make an API call and receive a JSON object, you can capture specific data from this response and save it to a variable in Voiceflow using the "Capture Response" section. Here's a general approach to handling an array from an API response:
- Ensure your API call is correctly set up and tested. If it's successful, you will receive a "Success" message.
- Use the "Capture Response" feature to specify the path to the data you want to capture. The path should start with response, followed by the specific path to the data within the JSON object.
- If your API response includes an array, and you want to capture all elements, you need to iterate through the array and capture each element individually. This might require custom scripting if the standard Voiceflow functionalities do not support direct array handling as you described.
- Double-check the API documentation to ensure you're using the correct path and format for accessing the array elements. Sometimes, APIs structure data in nested objects which might require a more detailed path to access.
Remember, the exact steps might vary depending on the structure of the API response and the capabilities of the Voiceflow platform at the time of your project development. For more detailed guidance on making API calls and handling responses in Voiceflow, consider reviewing the official documentation or tutorials available on Voiceflow's learning resources.
