Hi all, I am trying to pass a CloudEvent to my flow from an automation which is tied to a webhook receiving a CloudEvent and I can't figure out how to get the payload to come in as a valid dictionary instead of a string. Webhook is configured with:

{{ body|from_cloud_event(headers) }}

Automation sets the event paramenter for the example_flow like this:

{{ event.payload }}

the flow is as follows:

@flow(name="Example Flow", log_prints=True)
def example_flow(event: Any) -> None:
    print(type(event))
    print(event)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    example_flow.serve("Example Flow")

What I expect when I print the type of `event`: <class 'dict'> What I see: <class 'str'>

hi @Carlos Escobedo I think right now you'd need to

json.loads(event)

to get the

dict

Hi @Nate! Thank you for the fast response 🙂 I have used the json.loads() in other flows as a workaround

ah i was thinking of an internal ticket related to this, but I just created this issue please feel free to chime in on the issue if you think i've missed some detail
