Hi @sfmskywalker,
How can we save this http response in a variable and print it using WriteLine activity

[sfmskywalker]

If your SendHttpRequest activity is called e.g. SendHttpRequest1 which invokes e.g. https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/3, then you can store the resulting object in a variable called e.g. MyVariable using the following JS expression:

activities.SendHttpRequest1.ResponseContent;

This value is stored as an ExpandoObject, which means you can access its fields using dot-notation. For example, you could write its title field like using the following JS expression:

getVariable('MyVariable').title;

For your reference, the JSON returned from the sample URL mentioned above looks like this:

{
  "userId": 1,
  "id": 3,
  "title": "fugiat veniam minus",
  "completed": false
}

in 2.9.2 version .
update activities.SendHttpRequest1.ResponseContent; to activities.SendHttpRequest1.ResponseContent();

activities.SendHttpRequest1.ResponseContent(); give the complete json object. How should we access the values in that object. Elsa has been so disappointing.
