Extracting phone number from variable

Extracting phone number from variable

Hi. I've created a flow between Calendly and Zoho CRM. So when someone schedules a meeting in Calendly, there is a lead created in Zoho CRM. However, I am not able to fill in the phone number field in Zoho CRM, because the phone number is included in the variable "question_and_answers":

"questions_and_answers": {
            {
                              "question": "Phone number",
                              "answer": "0612345678"
                              "position": 0
            }

Is there a way to extract this phone number from this variable to have a valid phone number in my CRM field?
