Extract Specific JSON Fields for Sheets

🧩 Problem

Large payloads include noise; sheets and CRMs only need a handful of keys. When malformed or unstructured data hits routers, filters, or API connectors, entire automations halt or silently drop records. Teams end up retrying runs, hand-editing payloads, and explaining delays to customers.

💡 Why This Happens

Webhook schemas are verbose and nested. Most automation platforms assume well-formed payloads and do minimal validation. AI models, third-party APIs, and changing vendor schemas drift over time, mixing encodings, formats, and unexpected fields that downstream steps cannot tolerate.

🚀 The Fix: JSON Extract (API Endpoint)

Use this endpoint to solve the problem reliably inside Zapier, Make.com, n8n, Airtable.

Endpoint

POST https://api.postthatgetthis.com/json/extract

Example Input

{ "data": { "order": { "id": 9, "total": 199, "customer": { "email": "demo@ptgt.com" } } }, "fields": ["order.id", "order.total", "order.customer.email"] }

Example Output

{ "order.id": 9, "order.total": 199, "order.customer.email": "demo@ptgt.com" }
