Automation using json data from webhook

Configuration

Starting to do some HA things after being away for awhile. A little confused on when/how to use templates.
I’ve successfully subscribed to a webhook that notifies when my Zoom status changes. The goal is to set up some ‘on air/off air’ lights so my wife and I know when we’re in meetings so we don’t interrupt.
I can use the trigger to turn lights on and off, but I want to use data in the payload - email and presence_status - so I know which light to change, and whether to change it to red (do not disturb) or green (available).
here’s the pseudocode I need to translate into an action. I don’t know how to translate this into real HA script.
if trigger.json.requestbody.object.email = “adam@xyx” then
if trigger.json.requestbody.payload.object.presence_status = “Do not disturb” then
light.turn_on.adamstatus color_name=red
if trigger.jason.payload.object.presence_status = “Available” then
light.turn_on.adamstatus color_name=green
endif
if trigger.json.requestbody.object.email = “alisa@xyx” then
if trigger.json.requestbody.payload.object.presence_status = “Do not disturb” then
light.turn_on.alisastatus color_name=red
if trigger.jason.payload.object.presence_status = “Available” then
light.turn_on.alisastatus color_name=green
endif

here’s a sanitized example of what gets posted when the webhook triggers:
{
“applicationId”: “MHRy-FXpSauKAupwSfTNFQ”,
“monitorTime”: 1598762450465,
“traceId”: “Webhook_b50e7b05becc4392af5a68c2080e4d6d”,

}

}

Please post JSON, YAML code, logs, etc. formatted properly, otherwise it makes it very difficult to read them.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to use the choose action, which is basically an “if” statement. E.g.:

- trigger:
    # Your webhook trigger goes here
  action:
  - choose:
    # If Adam
    - conditions:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ trigger.json.requestbody.object.email == 'adam@xyx' }}"
      sequence:
      - choose:
        # If do not disturb
        - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ trigger.json.requestbody.payload.object.presence_status == 'Do not disturb' }}"
          sequence:
          - service: light.turn_on
            entity_id: light.adamstatus
            data:
              color_name: red
        # If available
        - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ trigger.json.requestbody.payload.object.presence_status == 'Available' }}"
          sequence:
          - service: light.turn_on
            entity_id: light.adamstatus
            data:
              color_name: green
    # If Alisa
    - conditions:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ trigger.json.requestbody.object.email == 'alisa@xyx' }}"
      sequence:
      - choose:
        # If do not disturb
        - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ trigger.json.requestbody.payload.object.presence_status == 'Do not disturb' }}"
          sequence:
          - service: light.turn_on
            entity_id: light.alisastatus
            data:
              color_name: red
        # If available
        - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ trigger.json.requestbody.payload.object.presence_status == 'Available' }}"
          sequence:
          - service: light.turn_on
            entity_id: light.alisastatus
            data:
              color_name: green
