Accessing JSON properties in a twilio studio flow

Question

I have a twilio function which is returning json (it correctly sets the content-type) of the form:

{"brand":"brand", "product":"product"}

This function is called by a twilio studio flow.

Immediately after this widget, I have a "send message" widget with the following template:

{% assign parsedObject= widgets.Extract.body | to_json  %}

Thank you! We think you want to buy {{ parsedObject.product}} by {{ parsedObject.brand }}.

Is this correct?

{{widgets.Extract.body.parsed["product"]}}
{{widgets.Extract.body["product"]}}

{{widgets.Extract.body }}

This template demonstrates that widgets.Extract.body contains a string which is valid JSON and its in the expected structure. All I want to do is write out 2 of the properties (brand and product) but I cant seem to get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The correct result is:

{{widgets.Extract.parsed.product}}

Because my function returns JSON, it is parsed into the "parse" property and accessible there. The liquid to_json filter is not required!
