    I am getting the JSON error while sending event to Azure Event Hub from Power Automate. 

     

    Attached is the screen shot on how the flow looks like at design time and what the error is shown as.

    @v-litu-msft Thanks for your reply.

    yes, this was the issue with URL..I found that I did custom URLs and some of them didn't work correctly.

    So the flow was correct, just URL issue. Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Your Flow is correct, I reproduced your Flow on my side but not find the same issue, my attachment is a PowerPoint file named "Flow need to.pptx".

    I guess the error is caused by the site address:
