Transform response

Feature: HTTP Response Transformation with JavaScript

This feature allows users to transform HTTP responses using custom JavaScript code. By leveraging this capability, raw HTTP responses can be converted into a cleaner, more manageable output format. The transformation process enables:

• Easier Downstream Actions: The output can be tailored to fit the needs of subsequent processes or integrations, minimizing the need for additional parsing or manipulation.

• Cleaner and Smaller Scope: Irrelevant or extraneous data can be filtered out, ensuring that only the necessary information is retained and passed forward.

• Flexible Output Formatting: Users can define transformation logic to reshape, aggregate, or reformat response data according to their specific requirements.

This approach ensures that downstream systems or workflows receive data in the most useful and efficient format, streamlining automation and integration efforts.

How to Enable

To enable HTTP response transformation on an iHub Action:

1. Expand the Response Handling section.

2. Click Enable on the option “Transform response data using script”.

Example Usage

For example, the Jira asset API often returns a large amount of unnecessary data that can clutter logs and make response handling more difficult. By enabling this feature, you can use a custom script to transform the response, removing extraneous information and making the data easier to work with for downstream actions.

Important Note:
The transformation script runs after the HTTP request response is received.
