The 'failed to parse body input' error can occur even when using Clay.formatForJSON() if there are other JSON formatting issues. To help troubleshoot, could you please copy and paste the exact JSON you're using into the chat? This will allow me to identify any specific formatting problems. Common causes for this error include: 1. Missing quotes around keys 2. Incorrect use of commas 3. Unescaped special characters Without seeing your JSON, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact issue. Once you share it, I can provide more specific guidance on how to resolve the error.

While Clay.formatForJSON() helps, it may not catch all JSON formatting issues. To troubleshoot further, could you please copy and paste your exact JSON into the chat? This will allow me to identify specific problems. Common issues include: 1. Missing quotes around keys 2. Incorrect use of commas 3. Unescaped special characters 4. Mismatched brackets or braces 5. Incorrect data types (e.g., numbers in quotes) Once you share your JSON, I can provide more targeted guidance on resolving the error.
