Hey Mark!
Not sure if I am understanding..I am trying to actually send data to an API URL..basically whenever a record is created in our quickbase it will trigger to make a request and POST certain fields. I got everything up until the BODY of the make a request step, it keeps giving me errors for incorrect template.
All I did with the body is drag the fields from a previous step into the body so they're listed as;
{{a.outbound_referral_company}}
{{a.customer_full_name}}
{{a.customer_phone}}
{{ a.customer_email}}
{{a.customer_date_of_birth}}
how should I write the body so it can successfully post to the URL.

Hi Magaly,
I'm doing a lot of this type of stuff.
Are each of the fields you list above the 'value' in your JSON?
In other words,
Does your JSON request look like this?
{
"outbound referral company":"{{a.outbound_referral_company}}",
"customer full name":"{{a.customer_full_name}}"
}
It's possible you're either missing the quotes, or for those fields they need to be converted first.
You can add '|to_json' to any fields that might have reserved characters, like this: {{a.outbound_referral_company|to_json}} and that might fix your problem.
If that doesn't work, share the text of the request body.
