The 'failed to create column' error is typically related to incorrect JSON formatting in your HTTP API request body. Here's how to fix it: 1. Ensure all text strings are enclosed in quotation marks 2. Remove any trailing commas at the end of your JSON objects 3. Check that your JSON structure follows this format: ```
{ "name": "John", "age": 30 } ```
If you're still having trouble, you can: • Use a JSON validator like JSONLint to check your formatting • Ask an LLM to help identify and fix JSON formatting issues Source: FAQ: Why am I seeing the "failed to parse body" error when using the HTTP API enrichment?

If you're setting up an HTTP API integration without a request body, here's what you should check: 1. Verify your HTTP method selection (GET, POST, or PUT) matches your API documentation requirements. 2. Double-check these essential components: • Confirm your endpoint URL is correct • Ensure all required headers are properly formatted • Verify any query parameters are correctly structured 3. If you're using dynamic variables: • Make sure string values are enclosed in quotes • Numbers should not be in quotes (except for numbers with trailing zeros) • Remove any extra spaces or commas • Check for any hidden characters that might have been copied overIf you're still having issues, you can click on "Talk to a person" to get help from our support team.
