You would need to use an Iterator to loop through the nested JSON data, which you seem to be doing. If you simply want to extract specific data from the JSON, you can use a JSON Extractor. It appears that you have both steps in your workflow.

sorry i dont understand what / how to get this to work -- those mulptles were to test if that would work but its not working

the json extrator is empty

You do have data in the JSON Extractor action step. You can directly map this data to the Google Docs action step. However, it cannot be mapped to the Iterator step. Only the nested JSON you’re receiving in Iterator 1 can be mapped in Iterator 2.
