Get JSON object value using JS code in Zapier

Question

Can somebody tell me how to get the productName out of the "step 1" output to the right, using JS code. I believe that the output from step 1 is an JSON object.

Or are there any easier ways doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Something like this may work for you. Although dealing with the lines containing objects may require more.

var lines = inputData.productName.split("\n");
var obj = {};

for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
  var pair = lines[i].split(":");
  obj[pair[0]] = pair[1];
}
return obj;
