JSON Output

Add --output json to any read command to get JSON-wrapped output.

flowctl --instance https://myco.service-now.com \
  --sys-id <id> --output json

The JSON envelope includes the flow metadata alongside the formatted output. Useful for piping into jq, feeding into CI scripts, or building tooling on top of flowctl.

With Other Formats

Combine --output json with any --format:

# JSON with text output
flowctl --sys-id <id> --output json --format text

# JSON with YAML output
flowctl --sys-id <id> --output json --format yaml

# JSON with tree diagram
flowctl --sys-id <id> --output json --format tree

Scripting Examples

Extract the flow name:

flowctl --sys-id <id> --output json | jq -r '.name'

Check flow status:

flowctl --sys-id <id> --output json | jq -r '.status'
