Hello community! Hope everyone is good.

I am having trouble with a Custom connector making a request to the Whatsapp Business API in order to send a text message. Easy as it sounds, the error seems to persist, says as follow:
The API 'whatsapp-5ffa150e7daae86389-5f7c8f2479de47eca0' returned an invalid response for workflow operation 'Send_Text_Message' of type 'OpenApiConnection'. Error details: 'The API operation 'SendTextMessage' requires the property 'body' to be of type 'Object' but is of type 'String'.'

request body:

{

"messaging_product": "whatsapp",

"recipient_type": "individual",

"to": "+528134044875",

"type": "text",

"text": {

"preview_url": false,

"body": "text-message-content"

}

}

Peak Code:

{

"inputs": {

"host": {

"connectionName": "shared_whatsapp-5ffa150e7daae86389-5f7c8f2479de47eca0",

"operationId": "SendTextMessage",

"apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_whatsapp-5ffa150e7daae86389-5f7c8f2479de47eca0"

"parameters": {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

"body": {

"messaging_product": "whatsapp",

"recipient_type": "individual",

"to": "+528134044875",

"type": "text",

"text": {

"preview_url": false,

"body": "text-message-content"

}

"authentication": "@parameters('$authentication')"

"metadata": {

"operationMetadataId": "d7a777b3-6349-4835-b1ea-b760528a0baa"

}

I tried the solution of manually typing the boyd in the power automate flow to ensure the payload request is actually passing through as object, but no success. I am not very experienced in all this tecnicallity still in begginer levels but I do have read that power automate custom connector actually has some issues and workarounds.

Please help!

Thanks a lot in advance.
