# Create a profile parser action for Apple Messages for Business

Create an action to parse the user information response and find the corresponding user on the ServiceNow® instance for Conversational Integration with Apple Messages for Business using the information provided here.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Refer to the following procedure to create a new action. [Create an action in Workflow Studio](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/build-workflows/create-action.md).

2.  In the Workflow Studio integration hub, set the **Input** field to `response_body (string)`.

3.  You can use the following example script to help create your script for the action.

    ```
    (function execute(inputs, outputs) { 
        try { 
            var profile = JSON.parse(inputs.response_body); 
            var email = profile[0]['profile']['email']; 
            var user_sys_id = ""; 
            var result = { 
                "auth_success": false, 
                "user_sys_id": "" 
            }; 
            if (email) { 
                result['auth_success'] = true; 
                var userGr = new GlideRecord("sys_user"); 
                userGr.addQuery("email", email); 
                userGr.query(); 
                if (userGr.getRowCount() == 1) 
                    if (userGr.next()) 
                        user_sys_id = userGr.getUniqueValue(); 
    
                result['user_sys_id'] = user_sys_id; 
            } 
            outputs.result = result; 
        } catch (e) { 
            gs.error("Error in Virtual Agent - Parse User Profile: " + e.message); 
            throw e; 
        } 
    })(inputs, outputs);
    ```

4.  Set the **Output** field to the following:

    ```
    result = {  
        "auth_success": false,  
        "user_sys_id": "1234" 
        };
    ```
