Http request format of body

[sam_new_zealand]

I'm adding dynamic content to the body of an http request.

The body is json formatted.

When I add the data manually it works fine. However when I add dynamic content it get's a malformed error.

The problem seems to be a number that I'm retrieving from a sharepoint list. In the return output it appears as a green number (no quotation marks).

Code:

Output:

Can anyone help?

I've tried writing the above json to a string using Set Variable - this worked. But I'd really like to understand why the green number format is not working.

Thanks

Hey @sam_new_zealand 

Can you please perform the test below

• Try to add a compose
• Add the tg_user_id to te compose action.
• Then pass in the output of the compose action to the request body

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't change the nature of the json - same problem:

@sam_new_zealand - Is this an anonymous API? If yes, I can try.

Sorry CFernandes, it requires credentials. As I said, I got it working, but only by writing the json directly with static data. As soon as I used dynamic data it fails.

I DID get it to work using Set Variable as this explicitly allows you to specify the output as string. But this seems very convoluted.
