overwrite response from API integration

RE: overwrite response from API integration

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this will help you, but perhaps you could try the code below:

a!localVariables(
  local!a: tostring(rule!YOUR_API().result.body),
  local!b: substitute(local!a,"\""","" ),
  a!fromJson(local!b)[1]
)

This is only vanilla scenario and will not work in exception but you can adjust from there, it is just an idea.

Hope that helps.

Acacio B.

Hi sreedevi0001

Could you please explain what you mean by this statement?

[quote userid="64791" url="~/discussions/f/integrations/21548/overwrite-response-from-api-integration"]that Appian complains due to special characters[/quote]

As far as I know, Appian accepts special characters in the dictionary, but it will not accept them for the data type field labels. So, if you're using these inside records, you can simply ignore the fields from the integration & focus on the required fields. If you need them inside the record, then you can create the dataype fields without special characters and map the values inside the expression rule used as record source.
