How to read a .json file and insert the data into a SharePoint list?

[Anonymous]

Hello 🙂

I want to create a flow that reads a .json file and inserts the data into a SharePoint list. Each data read in the .json file must be inserted in the respective column of the SharePoint list. My json follows this structure:

[

    {

        "date": "08/31/2020",

        "hour": 1,

        "production": 1,

        "machine": "Z22",

        "completeDate": "08/31/2020 01:00"

    },

    {

        "date": "08/31/2020",

        "hour": 4,

        "production": 1,

        "machine": "Z44",

        "completeDate": "08/31/2020 04:00"

    }
]

I created a Parse JSON that can capture my JSON schema correctly, but how do I make the flow read directly from the .json file? And how do I insert this data read into a SharePoint list?

Hello @Anonymous 

You will need a place for this JSON file to be stored. Where is this JSON coming from?

@Anonymous I assume you have the JSON file in a datasource consider SharePoint.

My solution:

Formula 1 - base64(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body'])

Fomula 2 -base64ToString(outputs('Compose'))

Note: Get File Content using Path - I have set Infer Content Type NO

Test -

Hi, @Jcook 

The JSON file is already stored in a SharePoint site.

Thanks for the quick response, @CFernandes 

This example you created works very well! But how do I insert this data read from JSON into a SharePoint list?

You need to add the Parse JSON and then create an item in the List.
