Convert FileMaker Data API to Flat File Array

This workflow provides a foundational transformation for FileMaker Data API outputs, which typically return data as an array of records containing nested 'fieldData' objects along with metadata like recordId and modId. It processes this structure by first splitting the 'response.data' array into individual items, then extracting only the 'fieldData' portion from each record, resulting in a clean, flat array of simple JSON objects with fields like first_name, last_name, company_name, address, etc.

Key benefits include simplifying complex API responses for downstream workflows, reducing data handling complexity, and enabling seamless integration with tools like spreadsheets, databases, or AI processors. It eliminates the need for custom scripting in every FileMaker extraction workflow, saving significant development time.

Ideal use cases: ETL pipelines from FileMaker to flat files/CSV, preparing contact data for CRM imports, batch processing database records for analysis or AI model training, and standardizing outputs in multi-step n8n automations. The included sample data demonstrates handling up to 500 records, scalable for production.
