The Select block extracts a specific piece of information from JSON data it receives from another block. This is very useful for isolating and working with data from a Send Request block's response.
Connect this input port to any block that sends JSON data.
This output port sends the selected data. The symbol next to this output port changes depending on the type of data selected.
Create a Setup block with the blocks list or drag and drop output data from a Send Request or Output block. When you drag and drop output data, the new Select block automatically selects the data you dragged and dropped.
Run the Flow to execute the block that's sending data to the Select block to populate the Select block with the data's fields. If connected to a Send Request block and the request has a saved response, the Select block can see the response's fields before running the Flow.
Select Enter path... to see the data's fields. Select the field you want to send from the Select block. Select the symbol next to the output port to preview the data being sent. If you change the selected field, you must run the Flow to update the preview.
To see the Select block in an example Flow, check out Flow snippets: Select.
