How to parse content of BLOB-file in Azure Logic App

Question

I'm working on an Azure Logic App which is triggered everytime a JSON-file is added to a BLOB-storage. The JSON-file contains a CustomerId and based on this Id I want to sent the contents of the JSON-file to a different endpoint using an HTTP-request.

My Azure Logic App currently looks like this;

I've been researching and trying a lot of things for the entire morning, but I can't get my head around this. I've tried things like;

json(body('Get_blob_content_using_path'))

and

decodeBase64(body('Get_blob_content_using_path'))

and just the default option like visible in the screenshot. But I can't figure out how to do this. All I want is go left or right based on the CustomerId.

So for clarity. The problem lies within the condition-step of the Logic App. I can retrieve the BLOB-file from the storage, but the issue is with parsing the CustomerId from the JSON so I can validate it within the condition. Does anybody has an idea on how I can fix this?

For clarity, is the problem retrieving the content or getting a value from the content you've successfully retrieved? — Johns-305, Apr 10 '19 at 13:04
@Johns-305 Good question! I'll update the topic, hopefully that give some more clarity. The issue is within parsing the JSON inside the condition so I can check it. That's after retrieving the content. — Rob, Apr 10 '19 at 13:12

In the end I was able to solve the issue by adding a compose step before the condition and after the steps which will get me the content of the BLOB-file. The compose get's the content of the blob-file which I then can validate against the CustomerId I want. This topic got me in the right direction for my solution.

UPDATE:

The final logic app looks like this;

Which is begin created with the following logic app code;
