How to test a Power Automate with a http request trigger in Postman?

Posted on by KLD

I created a Power Automate with a http request trigger. In this http request action I have this json body:

{
 "type": "object",
 "properties": {
 "SiteUrl": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "ListTitle": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "ListGUID": {
 "type": [
 "string",
 "null"
 ]
 },
 "ItemID": {
 "type": [
 "integer",
 "null"
 ]
 },
 "ClaimsUser": {
 "type": [
 "string",
 "null"
 ]
 },
 "FlowName": {
 "type": [
 "string",
 "null"
 ]
 }
 }
}

I would like to test in Postman and try to do a Post request with this body:

{
 "SiteUrl": "https://myCompany.sharepoint.com/sites/Test/",
 "ListTitle": "Documenten",
 "ItemID": 60,
 "ClaimsUser": "i:0#.f|membership|svc-spo-dms-hi@myCompany.com",
 "FlowName": "Bestandsbeheer Documenten",
 "ListGUID": "4d084425-ff5a-4aa6-9227-51c42d820cec"
}

I got this error: The input body for trigger 'manual' of type 'Request' did not match its schema definition. Error details: 'Invalid type. Expected Object but got String. What I am doing wrong?

Hi @KLD,

Just to double check. You are using the When a HTTP request is received trigger action, correct?

Can you also share a screenshot of your Postman setup, especially the body and the headers of your Postman request.

Btw, does your header of your Postman request include Content-Type:application/json?

I'm having the same issue. I followed this precisely but still got the error mentioned above: https://carldesouza.com/triggering-a-microsoft-flow-post-request-from-postman/

Has anyone solved this?

Also encountered this issue.

Ensure the body is set to JSON not text

The issue should be the type passed. By default Text is selected. Change it to JSON. This is mentioned by Anonymous below as well and is the correct answer
