✅ Solution & explanation
$json.agents.find(a => a.id === 2).email
Output: [email protected]
find() returns the first matching element (not an array), so you can read .email directly. It returns undefined if nothing matches.💡 Pro tip: Guard against no match: $json.agents.find(a => a.id === 2)?.email ?? 'unassigned'.
Also accepted: a.id == 2
