As of October 2024, there's an important requirement when using dynamic variables in HTTP API requests: you must enclose dynamic string variables in quotation marks.When using dynamic variables with /column, follow these JSON formatting rules:** String variables must be enclosed in quotes ** Number variables don't need quotes (except for numbers with trailing zeros like "0004") * Boolean values don't need quotesIf you need to combine plain text with a dynamic column tag, first create a Formula column to combine them, then include that column (with quotes) in your body tag.For more details about this change, you can watch our explanatory video here: video Sources: HTTP API with JWT authentication | Clay University HTTP API integration overview | Clay University
