How should my webhook payload be formatted to leverage line item support?

I have payload being sent to Zapier which is currently formatted as an array of objects. A very simplified version:

[
{"id":"asdf1234",
 "title":"asdf"},
{"id":"asdf1235",
 "title":"fdsa"}
]

If I send this as-is to Zapier Webhook trigger, it’s being split and parsed individually (thereby using up more tasks since each object in the array triggers the zap). Is there a way to format this (I have complete control over the input) so that Zapier parses it in one big payload, but each object as a line item? Ultimately, I want to pass the data to Google Sheets, utilizing the line-item support of those actions.

I’ve tried nesting the array within another object, but that wreck’s Zapier’s parsing causing the array to become one long string.

Thanks!!

Try something like this:

[{
 "id": ["asdf1234", "asdf1235"],
 "title": ["asdf", "fdsa"]
}]

You want to pass each field as an array

Thanks! I got close but didn’t quite get the array structure right. Looks like this is working. Thanks again for the simple and quick response!
