# How do I know a property is an Envelope?
## One way, look at the JSON Schema
The property will be of type `https://api.openteams.com/json-schema/Envelope`, or it will be of type `array` with `$ref` of `https://api.openteams.com/json-schema/Envelope`.
That is:
```json
{
"type": "https://api.openteams.com/json-schema/Envelope"
}
```
or
```json
{
"type": "array"
, "$ref": "https://api.openteams.com/json-schema/Envelope"
}
```
or even
```json=
{
"type": "object"
, "$ref": "https://api.openteams.com/json-schema/Envelope"
}
```
## How should we scaffold this until we have the ContextLookup done?
```javascript=
function getEnvelopeProperties(response) {
// for now, fake it! Look at the json-schema uri and return the already known list of envelope properties.
}
```
