Error parsing body request when I start a flow

[yohang22 (Yohan Florez)]

Hi

I am having some problems starting a flow, when I send a body request in json format the output generated is a string as it follow

"{
“documentNumber”:“1032450”,
“emailAssistedUser":"[email protected]”
}
"
So given this, It is not possible to parse the internal variables.

{
“documentNumber”:“1032450875”,
“emailAssistedUser":"[email protected]”
}

Have you ever experienced problems like this

Hi @yohang22

Do you have a screenshot of the flow/request you can share? It will make it easier to diagnose the problem.

Thanks Daniel .

I have seen this behavior when an API Request is made using the hook
https://f51461f5d7664c729824925ecfe780af.flow.pstmn.io/

{
“documentNumber”:“10324503”,
“emailAssistedUser":"[email protected]”
}

@yohang22

If you select the start block and then click the gear icon in the top right of Postman (next to the fork button) you should see a drop down that lets you select between text and JSON, can you make sure JSON is selected?

[yohang22 (Yohan Florez)]

Thanks Daniel. JSON is selected

[flows-daniel (Daniel Kimmelmann)]

Can you confirm this one is set to JSON?

[yohang22 (Yohan Florez)]

Thanks Daniel, I had text configured but I just changed to JSON in that panel and worked perfectly.
