Having trouble getting JSON schema generator or the GPT schema generator output to be able to be parsed. tried many things and it's not accepting anything, even though the editor window turns blue as it normally would when it can be parsed.

Here are some troubleshooting steps to resolve JSON parsing issues: 1. Check your string formatting: • Ensure all text values are enclosed in double quotes • Make sure dynamic column values are properly quoted 2. Review syntax carefully: • Check for proper comma separation between keys • Look for any extra spaces, colons, or brackets • Remove any trailing commas at the end 3. Clean up potential hidden characters: • Copy and paste your JSON into a plain text editor to spot any hidden characters • Remove any unexpected characters that might have been includedFor additional validation, you can use a tool like JSONLint (jsonlint.com) to check your JSON formatting, or ask an LLM to help identify and fix formatting issues.

Even if your JSON is valid according to JSONLint, there might still be formatting issues specific to Clay's requirements. Here are the key things to check: 1. For dynamic values: • If using dynamic column values (/column), ensure they're properly quoted for strings • Numbers with trailing zeros (like 0004) must be in quotes • Regular numbers should not be in quotes 2. Check for these common issues: • Verify all keys are surrounded by double quotes • If combining plain text with dynamic column tags, create a Formula column first and then include that column (with quotes) in your body • Look for any hidden characters by pasting into a plain text editorIf the issue persists after checking these items, you may want to request human support for further assistance.
