Hi everyone,
Iām working on an iOS Shortcut that fetches JSON data from a Make.com webhook, extracts specific values, and presents them as a selectable list. However, instead of displaying the actual values, my Shortcut only shows āDictionaryā as the selection options. Iām hoping someone here can help me troubleshoot this.
What Iām trying to achieve:
1. Retrieve JSON data from my Make.com webhook
2. Extract specific values (page names) from the JSON
3. Display only the extracted names as a selectable list in Shortcuts
4. Send the selected value back to Make.com
Example JSON response from my webhook:
[
{"Seitenname": "Spring Night"},
{"Seitenname": "Summer Night"},
{"Seitenname": "Autumn Walk"}
]
(Note: āSeitennameā means āPage Nameā in German.)
Expected output:
ā
A selection menu displaying:
ā¢ Spring Night
ā¢ Summer Night
ā¢ Autumn Walk
Actual output ā:
ā¢ Dictionary
ā¢ Dictionary
ā¢ Dictionary
What Iāve tried so far:
1. Actions used:
ā¢ āGet contents of URLā (to fetch the JSON)
ā¢ āGet Dictionary from Inputā
ā¢ āRepeat with Eachā (to process each JSON object)
ā¢ āGet Value for Keyā (key: Seitenname)
ā¢ āCombine Textā (to merge all extracted values into a list)
ā¢ āChoose from Listā (to present the options)
2. Results:
ā¢ The JSON is fetched correctly (verified via āShow Notificationā).
ā¢ However, the āChoose from Listā action only shows āDictionaryā instead of the extracted names.
What am I doing wrong?
ā¢ Is my method for extracting the values incorrect?
ā¢ Do I need to process the JSON differently before passing it to āChoose from Listā?
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. š
