    Hi,

    It would cost more effort to parse a JSON string in SharePoint workflow when comparing to do it via programming languages such C# and JavaScript.

    Anyway, here is a demo about how to call the SharePoint 2013 Rest API from a SharePoint Designer Workflow, there are steps about how to parse the JSON string which returned from a web service call which should be helpful to you:
