The "Error creating workflow" message typically occurs due to API authentication issues or formatting problems. Common causes include:
API Token Issues:
** Invalid, expired, or missing API token permissions
** Incorrect collection ID or slug that's inaccessible with your current token
Formatting Problems:
** Slugs must use lowercase letters and hyphens (-) instead of spaces or underscores
** Control characters or unsupported HTML in rich text fields
Body Parse Errors:
** Keys not surrounded by double quotes
** Incorrect punctuation, syntax, or hidden characters
Solutions:
** Test your connection using Clay's "Test connection" feature
** Verify your API key has correct scopes (e.g., CMS read access)
** Ensure collection IDs and slugs are accurate
** Copy and paste any JSON into a text editor to check for hidden characters
Could you share the specific JSON or body content you're using so I can help identify the exact formatting issue?
