How do I extract the session id from the response of the login webhook?

[Ruth Ariel]

Hi, I need Help:

I'm using GET webhook by 'Send web request' component in Jira automation.

In it I log in to an external system using a username and password, and then I want to use the session id that is received, for another webhook call that will take action on the external system.

So I need to extract the session id from the response.

This expression works fine 

{{webhookResponse.body}}

and it returns the following result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <resp status="ok"> <sessionId>26c25203abbb4f2690e39897c346ef62@240038451</sessionId> </resp>

But then when I try to access the sessionId, it doesn't work

{{webhookResponse.body.sessionId}}

Please Help!

Thanks

Ok I just had to add at the end of the url of the login Rest: '&output=json'.
