JSON response to text (string)

Hey guys, I want to display the full JSON response from my Shopify Storefront API call inside a Voiceflow variable so that my AI agent can access and read the product data. The API call works fine in the Test Request, I can see the product data (title, description, image, price, etc.). However, when I capture the response into a variable (e.g. {rawProducts}), the variable ends up empty ([]) instead of showing the full JSON content. Solutions that I've already tried: 1. Capturing data.products.edges directly into {rawProducts} or with response 2. Using JSON.stringify(rawProducts) in a Set block 3. Testing with different variable types (array, string, object) So how can I correctly capture the entire JSON response from my Shopify Storefront API into a Voiceflow variable, so that it’s not empty and my AI agent can actually access the product information, please?

Here’s what usually trips people up 👇 1. In the Capture Response field you must prefix the path with response.
For a Shopify Storefront GraphQL call the JSON you see in the preview looks like:

   {
     "data": {
       "products": {
         "edges": [ ... ]
       }
     }
   }

   {
     "data": {
       "products": {
         "edges": [ ... ]
       }
     }
   }

So the correct path to the array of products is:

   response.data.products.edges

   response.data.products.edges

(or response if you really need the whole object). 2. Map that path to a Voiceflow variable whose type can hold what you’re storing: • For the whole object → create the variable as object (or string if you plan to JSON-stringify it). • For just the edges array → create the variable as array. 3. Test again – the variable should now be populated. If you still want the entire payload as a single string for your AI step, add a Set (or Function) step right after and do:

   {rawProductsString} = JSON.stringify({rawProducts})

   {rawProductsString} = JSON.stringify({rawProducts})

Now the assistant can read it as plain text. Common reasons it shows []: • The path was entered without the leading response. • The variable’s type doesn’t match (e.g. saving an array into a string variable). Doc reference: “A path always starts with response followed by the desired mapping path.” https://docs.voiceflow.com Give that a try and your product data should come through intact! 👍
