Where to get Schema for the Parse JSON action in Power Automate
Posted On August 16, 2020
“I need to process response from an HTTP request in Power Automate, but the Parse JSON action is asking me for Schema. What should I write there? Do I need to understanding coding to use it?“
The Power Automate flow itself will give you the JSON schema it needs. Once you configure your HTTP request, do a test run (icon in the top right corner. 
Expand the details of the HTTP request to get the content of its Body.
Go back to editing your flow, open the Parse JSON action and click Generate from sample.
Paste the Body content as the sample JSON Payload and click Done.
It’ll be converted into a valid Schema.

I don’t get a screen with Inputs and Outputs after running Test. It just says Flow ran successfully and clears the screen. Am I missing a step?
Hello Harry,
you need two steps in the flow: the trigger action and the action whose output you want to use in the ‘Parse JSON’. If it doesn’t show the result directly after the test run, go back to the flow page and check the ‘Run history’.
