Unable to read JSON request payload. Please ensure Content-Type header is set and payload is of valid JSON format.

So I have made a flow. The flow starts out with when a new email address arrives to a specific email address.

 

Then it looks for three conditions - those conditions are by what the subject line says - if the subject lines matches the condition then the process will create a chat in Teams and then post a message in teams to specific members.  When I do testing on the first condition works great but when I test the other conditions by changing the subject line I get the message of - Unable to read JSON request payload. Please ensure Content-Type header is set and payload is of valid JSON format.  I am new to Power Automate and wondering why it is failing.  What I did was mimic the other steps from the first condition and all that is different for the other conditions is that the subject line of the email is who are the members of the chat.
