Hello,To give you a gist of my flow, I am sending some data from a record to an API.When the data is processed and a success_id is sent from the API.I want to store that success id in the record.How can I do the Response Mapping?Let's take for example:The response from an API looks like this.{"success_id" : "12345"}
```

```
Now in the Response Mapping, should the Mappings be like?success_id -> success_id (Data flow to Netsuite)(or)data[0].sucess_id -> success_id

There are a couple ways to accomplish this.

Most APIs will return an 'id' type field when importing new data, and we have a field in the import itself to configure this, and then you can simply reference the 'id' field in your response mapping. Hopefully the following pics will help illustrate this.

The other option is to use the '\_json' field in the response mapping. The '\_json' field is basically a container variable that we use to store all the response fields that were returned by any API for a successful request. You can access any field that the API returns.

Hello Scott,  
Thank you for taking out your time & replying to me.  
I have used \_json field for mapping response data from API call.  
No luck the data is neither showing in the Debug Connections nor updating.

I recommend getting help from support. This should be very easy to solve, and most likely there is a path that is not getting set correctly.
