Zapier is binding data response from GET request? - webhooks

Question

I am trying to manipulate a response from GET request, but Zapier is binding all the response data. Please see the image. Is this true, or there are ways around this?
This is the response from Zapier's GET.
Please point me a correct direction.
Here is the raw version:
{
"data": [
{
"id": 19235266,
"text": "Start of chat (WhatsApp)",
"photo": null,
"coordinates": null,
"transport": "whatsapp",
"type": "from_client",
"read": true,
"created": "2018-03-22T08:52:31 UTC",
"audio": null,
"pdf": null,
"remote_id": null,
"recipient_status": null,
"operator_id": 8645,
"channel_id": 1524,
"dialog_id": 903974,
"client_id": 1704911
},
{
"id": 19235267,
"text": "Chat agent – Administrator",
"photo": null,
"coordinates": null,
"transport": "whatsapp",
"type": "system",
"read": true,
"created": "2018-03-22T08:52:31 UTC",
"audio": null,
"pdf": null,
"remote_id": null,
"recipient_status": null,
"operator_id": null,
"channel_id": 1524,
"dialog_id": 903974,
"client_id": 1704911
}
]
}
Thank you in advance.

David here, from the Zapier Platform team.
Luckily, the fix here is very simple. If you want access to the raw hook (instead of the way we process it) you should use the Catch Raw Hook trigger:
Then you'll get your full body as a string:
and you can do whatever you'd like with it. For example, I wrote a small code step to pull the id of the first item:
let j = JSON.parse(inputData.data)
return {emails: j.data}
Which worked as expected. Note that if you return an array from a code step, subsequent steps will happen for each item. Proceed with caution when processing a bunch of items.
