Rename, sort and delete JSON objects

Questions
1

Hello dear community,

I am currently working on a workflow that will later be used to migrate data from one system to another via a CSV file. (Currently the software is not integrated)

In the first step “all” data from a system (e.g. hubspot) has to be exported (JSON). In the next step the data has to be partially renamed, not needed objects and lines deleted and re-sorted In the last step, the CSV export takes place and is sent, e.g. via Slack.

What currently works:

  • get all hubspot data (get all)
  • Renaming individual objects on the first level

What doesn’t work:

(1) the sorting
(2) renaming objects from the second level onwards
(3) the deletion of unnecessary!

What might be a possible solution to the problem described above?

It looks like you should have another look at the documentation here about how the Function-Node works exactly. That will make it easier for you in the future:

Here an example how to do what you have planned. It is not complete I did just add the first few properties. So what you would have to do is to keep on adding only the properties you want and that in the format you want them:
