Front end custom events let you set the param type to “PLUGIN TYPES” which is excellent for parsing JSON from AI agents etc.
This is not an option for backend workflows? This seems insane. I must be missing something.
What’s your work around?
Screen shot from front end custom event:
Hey @brad.h - this is indeed a limitation.
It’s purely for the frontend<>backend communication. On both the front-end and backend you can use these as parameters in custom events.
So, one method is to save the JSON (type or text) on the data thing, and pass this to the backend workflow - once on the backend, you can use it normally.
good luck!
