JSONata Exerciser: https://try.jsonata.org/
JSONata functions: String, Number, Object, Array
Force string type: $string(Account.Order[0].Product[0].ProductID): "858383"
Force number type: $number(Account.Order[0].Product[0].SKU): 406654608
Day & Time
$now() > ISO 8601, e.g. 2022-10-17T09:50:03.163Z
$millis() > UNIX Epoch in milliseconds, e.g. 1666000139832
To Millis (UNIX x 1000) (for any math conversions and comparisons):
$toMillis(date)
> e.g. 1626335334767
If your date is not in ISO 8601 format, you can still use toMillis by specifying the input format, e.g. $toMillis('2020-09-09 00:00:00 +02:00', '[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [Z]')
From Millis (UNIX x 1000) (human-readable, pass output pattern as a param:
$fromMillis($toMillis(date), '[M01]/[D01]/[Y0001] [h#1]:[m01][P]')
> e.g. 07/15/2021 7:48am
Example: Difference between orderDate and now():
($millis() - $toMillis(orderDate))/1000/60 > To minutes
($millis() - $toMillis(orderDate))/1000/60/60/24 > To days
> e.g. 461 days, which can now be used on Conditional Block number operators: <>=
Aggregating multiple results: Cards & Carousels
(Keep in mind the technical limitations when testing on a live CRM widget.)
IMPORTANT: C&Cs in the dialogue builder look for arrays. Unless you define your target output in JSONata as [], it may return an object instead and will throw a technical error.
When output in an AI agent text message, (un-nested) objects will render as [object Object], arrays as [object Object],[object Object].
Basic query to create a new object per entry:
Account.Order.Product.{'Quantity': Quantity}
Simple C&C:
Account.Order.Product[[0..8]].{
'SKU': $substring(SKU, 0, 50), 'Quantity': Quantity}… [[0..8]] > Range of results with first item being index 0, 10 objects in total being the max. limit for most CRMs
… $substring(SKU, 0, 50) > Cut off excess string letters with first letter being index 0
Optional Fallback Card in case response body is empty / not found:
Account.Order.Product ?
[Account.Order.Product[[0..8]].{
'SKU': $substring(SKU, 0, 50), 'Quantity': Quantity}] :
[{"SKU" : "Product Not Found"}]
Aggregating multiple results: Email
$join(Account.Order.Product.(
"SKU: " & SKU & ", " & "Price: " & Price), '\n')… '\n' > Render a new line to separate results if your CRM supports basic formatting
