Hi, I am testing the eFront API, specifically the [Add User to Curriculum]([https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/Epignosis/Efront-API/1.0.0#/Curriculum/p](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/Epignosis/Efront-API/1.0.0#/Curriculum/p) I can use other ut\_Curriculum\_\_Id\_\_AddUser). When I am using x-www-form-urlencoded in Postman, my request is successful. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/0/5/05a49a536bb16f08ac71e07c1fa44d57ff012dea.png) However, when I change the body to raw it is not working: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/1/8/18a3c0ede460474b84ad882286e84f7e8465b61c.png) Am I doing something wrong or missing something? I am using the API with the raw format to [create a new user](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/Epignosis/Efront-API/1.0.0#/User/post_User) where it works as expected (screenshot from Power Automate). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/c/1/c16c9b0752461ad8cd6c2025d02660a74936af91.png) ---

Hi @nielf It looks like you are hitting two separate end-points… a PUT and a POST. A quick glance over the Swagger docs looks like the PUT’s only accept x-www-form-urlencoded body’s ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/0/8/08b005d529cdea7e1c1076971b65b429eab56166.png) Where as the POST’s appear to accept both that and application/json body’s ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/1/a/1af25988df56933c144714edccf22a31af1fc1c8.png) ---

I see. Thanks for the input @w4dd325 However, I am still struggling with the part where I have to ender the _UserId_ in the body. I have added a header with key: Content-type and Value: application/x-www.form-urlencoded Then I have tried this in the body: UserId=35 userid=35 { “UserId”: 35 } also tried adding it as a parameter in the URL: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/b/7/b760174f4b84ef6f26599bf01e77e00abf8c3f2d.png) My end goal is to use it in a Power Automate action, where I cannot enter Key/Value pairs directly, as I can in postman. ---

Looks like you need to pass an ‘id’ param… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/b/2/b21b04a8c18b821bfca540b5e34d46f738402bc1.png) I see you have ‘13’ hardcoded, add it as a param and ensure that the number is correct. ---

@w4dd325 the ID I have hardcoded is the Curriculum ID. What I am struggling with is how to add the UserID in the body. ---

When you import the cURL command from Swagger into Postman, it looks like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/4/4/444e22d7b54036235aef71c556db6d6f98b0bdbd.png) You can grab the cURL like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/7/b/7ba51693a8e2c20e092efe1f0befdfeb1e4ce3ca.png) And then just import it directly into Postman and it will configure the call for you. ---

Looks like you need to copy out the multi-part form data, try this article: > **[Using Multipart/Form-Data in a Power Automate or Logic Apps HTTP Action](https://clavinfernandes.wordpress.com/2022/04/18/use-multipart-form-data-in-power-automate-or-logic-apps-http-action/)** > > In HTTP terms, Content-Type ‘header’ is used by the client application when it submits data to the server.  That being said, one of the most used Content-Types is ‘Multipart/… ---

Thanks for the link, @w4dd325. I’ll see if I can use that approach. ---

I finally found a solution that works. It is described in the second part of [this blog.](https://ashiqf.com/2021/07/25/how-to-use-form-data-and-form-urlencoded-content-type-in-power-automate-or-logic-apps-http-action/comment-page-1/#comment-6302)
