Creating an array in an expression

Questions
1

I am trying to connect up to an API and in their documentation I need to create inside an http request an array like this:

    'plainPassword' => array(
        'password' => 'topSecret007',
        'confirm' => 'topSecret007',
    ),

how would i add this to a body parameter ?

So as I know js does not support associative arrays, so you could use js object:

Or you could make manipulate object to string to have this syntax

In case you have to send it as an actual array, then you would have to set an expression like this:
{{ {"plainPassword": [{"password": "topSecret007", "confirm": "topSecret007" }]} }}

Here an example workflow:

Thanks both for the advice. I have tried multiple variations however nothing is working for me yet.

From the mautic API this is what I am meant to be doing:

$data = array(
    'username' => 'apitest',
    'firstName' => 'John',
    'lastName' => 'Doe',
    'email' => 'john@doe.com',
    'plainPassword' => array(
        'password' => 'topSecret007',
        'confirm' => 'topSecret007',
    ),
    'role' => 1,
);

This is what i have tried to do so far

Try it like this: {{ {"password":"topSecret007", "confirm": "topSecret007" } }}

could i get a little bit more help… how would i pass a node value into this ?

{{ {"password":"{{$node["Set"].json["password"]}}", "confirm": "{{$node["Set"].json["password"]}}" } }}
when i view the result i get this

[invalid (Expression is not valid: Unexpected string)]", “confirm”: “mike1234” } }}

You would have to use:

{{ {"password": $node["Set"].json["password"], "confirm": $node["Set"].json["password"] } }}

Hi @Beste_Celtek

You should probably open a new topic. But to answer the question. The expression has an extra { } around it, which seems odd to me. and is probably the reason why it is failing as it doesn’t seem like correct syntax indeed.

Also not sure if what you are doing is the best idea, but would be great to get a new topic with your issue and some more info on it so we can give a proper answer.

Thanks, I have removed the extra {} and added [ ] instead and it worked.
