JSON Parser Node for automators: Parse any JSON payload within the context of the workflow and use the outputs within subsequent conditions and actions with the help of the new Parser node for workflows.

Looking ahead, you will also be able to use this to work with outputs from the upcoming Powershell Orchestration App and also use it to parse API responses from the upcoming Web Request Node.
