Invalid Json - "Unexpected M"

General
1

Hey all,

New Here. Quick question- I am looking to hit an API and it expects a Json of data. I am trying to write different parts of the payload to fields in the api call.

You cannot use msg.xyz to insert values into a JSON type property.

One alternative is to use the Template node that does support that sort of value substitution.

Right on. I was able to use a template to format the data into the entire request body:

Is there a way to then pass this to the request body field? Like is there any way to make the request dynamic?

What node is that :point_up:

If you are just doing a HTTP request, you would simply populate msg.payload and pass that to the built in HTTP request node.
