Hello,

I'm trying to create an action for an api for my custom connector and when I import from sample for the request or response, it was unable to process all the properties as some was missing.

The ones that are missing have a structure of 'array of objects of array of objects'

I have pasted the problematic json below

 "ConsentFields": [
 {
 "Fields": [
 {
 "Key": "TEXT",
 "Value": "Your consent text goes here."
 },
 {
 "Key": "DATETIMECONSENTED",
 "Value": "2020-01-01T09:40:18.527Z"
 },
 {
 "Key": "URL",
 "Value": "http://www.example.com/signup"
 },
 {
 "Key": "IPADDRESS",
 "Value": "127.0.0.1"
 },
 {
 "Key": "USERAGENT",
 "Value": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; OpenBSD i386) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36"
 }
 ]
 },
 {
 "Fields": [
 {
 "Key": "TEXT",
 "Value": "Your consent text goes here."
 },
 {
 "Key": "DATETIMECONSENTED",
 "Value": "2020-01-01T09:40:18.527Z"
 },
 {
 "Key": "URL",
 "Value": "http://www.example.com/signup"
 },
 {
 "Key": "IPADDRESS",
 "Value": "127.0.0.1"
 },
 {
 "Key": "USERAGENT",
 "Value": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; OpenBSD i386) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36"
 }
 ]
 }
 ]

How can I import this json correctly to the request and response section?

Thanks.

Hi @WilsonWan

Your JSON is almost correct. You need to enclose everything with { } to make it valid.

Try the following:

{ "ConsentFields": [{ "Fields": [{ "Key": "TEXT", "Value": "Your consent text goes here." }, { "Key": "DATETIMECONSENTED", "Value": "2020-01-01T09:40:18.527Z" }, { "Key": "URL", "Value": "http://www.example.com/signup" }, { "Key": "IPADDRESS", "Value": "127.0.0.1" }, { "Key": "USERAGENT", "Value": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; OpenBSD i386) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36" } ] }, { "Fields": [{ "Key": "TEXT", "Value": "Your consent text goes here." }, { "Key": "DATETIMECONSENTED", "Value": "2020-01-01T09:40:18.527Z" }, { "Key": "URL", "Value": "http://www.example.com/signup" }, { "Key": "IPADDRESS", "Value": "127.0.0.1" }, { "Key": "USERAGENT", "Value": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; OpenBSD i386) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36" } ] } ] }

and you'll get

{ "type": "object", "properties": { "ConsentFields": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "Fields": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "Key": { "type": "string" }, "Value": { "type": "string" } }, "required": [ "Key", "Value" ] } } }, "required": [ "Fields" ] } } } }

Hello @manuelstgomes ,

I have enclosed my json when I was trying to create the action with the json. I have also try the one you provided (which is identical to what I have used).

When the request parameters are created, I get an empty body. There are no properties in the body at all.

Thanks.

HI @WilsonWan

Here are the steps I followed:

Copy the JSON to "Generate From Sample":

And then I got the schema:

Did you do anything differently? If would work.

Hello @manuelstgomes ,

Sorry, the area I had issue with is inside the Custom connectors.

Data from sidebar > Custom connectors > Definition in breadcrumb > Actions

When creating a new action, I use the json provided under the Request section > import from sample.

Normally, the body of the request will be populated with the properties from the Json I have given.

However, for some reason, it was empty.

Thanks

Hi @WilsonWan

Yeah, you mentioned that, sorry about that.

Have you tried copying the definition that I posted above (below the JSON) to your custom connector? With that, are you able to proceed?

Hello @manuelstgomes

I believe that the action is expecting a json, not definition.

after importing the definition rather than the json, I get this which isn't what I expect from the json.

Thanks
