do you know why I’m getting an invalid_payload error using the Slack action in my workflow? Is there anything specific to know about the body syntax? I copy-pasted exactly what worked in the Slack Block Kit Builder
It seems like you’re encountering an invalid_payload error when using the Slack action in your workflow. This error often occurs when there’s a mismatch between the expected payload format and what is being sent. Here are a few things to consider: 1. Payload Structure: Ensure that the payload structure matches what the Slack API expects. Even if it worked in the Slack Block Kit Builder, there might be slight differences in how the payload needs to be formatted when sent via an API request. 2. JSON Formatting: Double-check that your JSON is properly formatted. Missing commas, brackets, or quotes can lead to invalid payload errors. 3. Required Fields: Make sure all required fields are included in your payload. The Slack API might require specific fields that are not optional. 4. Block Kit Specifics: If you’re using Block Kit, ensure that the block elements are correctly nested and that each block has the necessary fields. 5. Testing with Slack API: You can use tools like Postman to test your payload directly against the Slack API to see if the issue persists outside of Pipedream. If you’ve checked all these and the issue persists, you might want to review the specific Slack action you’re using in Pipedream. You can refer to the Build and Send a Block Kit Message (Beta) action documentation for more details on configuring the action correctly. If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to Pipedream support for further assistance: Support - Pipedream.
The request works fine in Postman, exact same setup
Welp, it worked when I used HTTP request and imported from curl from my Postman request :shrug:
