STEP 1
Select JSON in workflow
Pick JSON app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
JSON Integration
Read, build, and reshape JSON data. Parse text into workable items, assemble new JSON from your fields, combine results into one list, and convert to or from XML. Use JSON inside visual workflows on WEXTL to compose logic that vendor integrations alone cannot cover. Pair it with app triggers and actions on the canvas to build end-to-end automations.

Supported triggers and actions for JSON integration
Triggers can detect changes in JSON and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside JSON automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Aggregate to JSONCombine the results of a repeated step into a single JSON list.
- Convert to JSONTurn a set of key/value pairs into a simple JSON output.
- Create JSONBuild a JSON document from your mapped fields, with optional pretty formatting.
- JSON to XMLConvert JSON data into an XML document, with control over element naming and formatting.
- Parse JSONTurn JSON text into structured data, handing each list item to the next step on its own.
- XML to JSONConvert an XML document into JSON data you can use in later steps.
How to integrate JSON in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your JSON connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect JSON
When prompted, authorize access to JSON in WEXTL once. JSON credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
JSON Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your JSON account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with JSON yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect JSON to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

Connect JSON to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with JSON below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with JSON. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with JSON integration
Select Aggregate to JSON action from JSON - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in JSON, workflow will start [7] from Aggregate to JSON node.
Search for Create JSON, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Aggregate to JSON and Create JSON, so only important data pass from Aggregate to JSON to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of JSON automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
JSON on WEXTL has 6 modules for building built-in automations. Explore JSON documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating JSON in your workflows.
JSON is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, read, build, and reshape JSON data. Parse text into workable items, assemble new JSON from your fields, combine results into one list, and convert to or from XML. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop JSON onto the visual canvas alongside app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes. Connect it to the steps before and after, configure its parameters, and it runs as part of the automation every time the workflow executes.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. WEXTL authenticates every connection per account, encrypts credentials at rest, and lets you enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation that uses JSON.
JSON runs alongside app integrations on the same workflow canvas. It receives data from upstream steps (triggers or other nodes) and passes results to downstream steps. Refer to our JSON Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. JSON works with every trigger source and every app integration on WEXTL. Combine it with native app triggers, scheduled polling, or the Custom Webhook node so JSON can react to events from any external system.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes like JSON inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine JSON with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) to build the exact flow you need.
