Open a JSON object and add the "**id**" key, providing the JSON path of the corresponding key in the sample event payload instead of value. Repeat this step for the "**email**" and "**event_id**" key. ![Simple transformation of an event body](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/signals/help/targets/samples/simple-1.gif) 2. For the "**name**" key, provide the JSON path of the Full_Name key in the sample event payload. Finally, add this **"is_transformed": true** static key-value pair to denote that this payload is transformed to suit the orchestration configured for the particular event. ![Simple transformation of an event body](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/signals/help/targets/samples/simple-2.gif) You can also copy and paste the below template compiler for the Lead Created event in Zoho CRM service to witness the instant transformation of your payloads. **Template Compiler** ```json { "id" : $.events[0].data.id, "name" : $.events[0].data.Full_Name, "email" : $.events[0].data.Email, "event_id" : $.events[0].id, "is_transformed" : true } ``` > **Note:** This applies only to the first indexed JSON object in the events array.
### Scenario 2: Complex Transformation For the same requirements that we have seen in the above scenario, we need to apply the transformation to each and every JSON object within the **events** array instead of a particular indexed object. #### New Payload Requirements - To have an array of JSON objects called **data**. - Each JSON object in the array should carry the id, name, email, event_id keys as transformed in the previous scenario. - To add this **"is_transformed": true** new key-value pair. #### Expected Event Payload **Expected Event Payload** ```json { "data" : [ { "id" : 9876543210, "name" : "Full Name", "email" : "test@zoho.com", "event_id" : "c6b53699-94b1-48a1-86fd-80b8d4778e28" } ], "is_transformed" : true } ``` 1. To create an array, begin by opening a JSON object with the **data** key. Provide the JSON path of the **events** array from the sample payload and deploy this **forEach((var{n})->{JSON_path_of_desired_key} )** syntax instead of values. Replace var with the a variable name. ![Complex transformation of an event body](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/signals/help/targets/samples/complex-1.gif) 2. Enter the name of the keys (id, name, email, event_id) that you want to include within an object of this array. Instead of values, provide the JSON path of the corresponding keys from the particular array without the **$** symbol. ![Complex transformation of an event body](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/signals/help/targets/samples/complex-2.gif) This will iterate through each object starting from index 0 and generate an array of objects containing lead names, IDs, and Emails. 3. Add this **"is_transformed": true** static key-value pair to denote that this payload is transformed to suit the orchestration configured for the particular event. ![Complex transformation of an event body](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/signals/help/targets/samples/complex-3.gif) You can either practice this transformation step-by-step, or copy and paste the below template compiler for the Lead Created event in Zoho CRM service to witness the instant transformation of your payloads. **Template Compiler** ```json { "data" : $.events.forEach((array) -> { "id" : array.data.id, "name" : array.data.Full_Name, "email" : array.data.Email, "event_id" : array.id } ), "is_transformed" : true } ```
