I'm trying to extract the results from the payload to display in a message for a watcher  
The value is in

```auto
      "payload": {
        "results": [
          {
            "value": 1644,
            "key": "foo"
          }
        ]
      }

```

if I try to reference as **{{ctx.payload.results}}**  
I get this:

{0={value=1644, key=foo}}

What I need is only the value 1644, or the key "foo"

I also try to use  
**ctx.payload.results.value**  
**ctx.payload.results.[0]**  
**ctx.payload.results.['value']**

nothing works

Any idea how to get it from the array?
