Issue with HubSpot API: 400 Error on Adding Company to List

·

·

Something is off with the HTTP API action. I'm trying to add a company to a list using the Hubspot API https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/lists/5113/memberships/add . According to the API docs, I have to send a "a list of record ids" in the body, which looks like ["1234"]

The Hubspot API auth is correct. Other API calls work just fine, so it's not an auth issue
The payload works fine in a curl request, so it's not an issue with the body payload
It is correct that Hubspot wants record ids as a string
In Clay, I can actually send an empty array as [] and it works, I get a 200 back
In Clay, I cannot send the actual array ["1234"] I get the following error:

Clay received a 400 error from the API with Content: {"status":"error","message":"Invalid input JSON on line 1, column 2: Cannot deserialize value of type java.lang.String from Object value (token JsonToken.START_OBJECT)","correlationId":"139506c7-6bf3-4c8d-88e6-c55cc12dd004"}

It seems there might be an issue with how Clay is parsing the JSON body in the HTTP API action. To troubleshoot this further, could you please copy and paste the exact JSON you're using in the Body field of the HTTP API action? This will help us identify any potential formatting issues specific to Clay's implementation. In general, when working with the HTTP API in Clay, it's important to ensure that the JSON is properly formatted, especially when using dynamic variables or arrays. Once you provide the JSON, we can better assist you in resolving this Hubspot API integration issue.

The issue might be related to how Clay is parsing the JSON in the HTTP API action body. When using arrays in Clay's HTTP API, it's crucial to ensure proper JSON formatting. Could you please provide the exact JSON you're using in the Body field of the HTTP API action? This will help us identify any potential formatting issues specific to Clay's implementation. For dynamic variables in Clay, remember to follow JSON formatting rules. For strings, use quotation marks, but for numbers, don't use quotes unless they have trailing zeros. Let's review your JSON to ensure it's correctly formatted for Clay's HTTP API action.
