    If you're having issues with HTTP API actions, here are some troubleshooting steps: 1. Check your JSON formatting: ā€¢ Ensure all text strings are in quotes ā€¢ Remove any trailing commas ā€¢ Verify your data format is correct 2. Verify your HTTP method is appropriate for your action: ā€¢ GET: For retrieving data ā€¢ POST: For creating new items ā€¢ PUT: For updating existing items ā€¢ DELETE: For removing items ā€¢ PATCH: For partial updates 3. Double-check your request body: ā€¢ Strings must be in quotes (e.g., "name": "Sam") ā€¢ Numbers and booleans should not have quotes ā€¢ When using dynamic variables (/column), maintain proper JSON formattingIf you're still experiencing issues, try using a JSON validator like JSONLint to check your data structure.

    To resolve HTTP API action issues, check these key points: 1. Verify your JSON body formatting: ā€¢ Ensure all text strings are in quotes ā€¢ Remove any trailing commas at the end ā€¢ Double-check your overall data format 2. When setting up the HTTP call, make sure you have: ā€¢ Selected the correct HTTP method ā€¢ Provided the proper endpoint URL ā€¢ Included any required query string parameters ā€¢ Added necessary headers ā€¢ Formatted the body correctly, especially when using column tokens (e.g., {"email": ##{{email field}}, "name": ##{{name field}}})For validation, try pasting your data into a JSON validator like JSONLint to identify any formatting issues.
