Hi,

Are you receiving the same error when you test it in a different platform (e.g. Postman)? If you don't find any errors in this scenario, I would recommend you to investigate any headers used by Postman that could be required for this request, and replicate them in Power Automate.

Another option is to disable the new designer in Power Automate and recreate your HTTP action. Although we had a lot of improvements in the new designer during 2024, it still has a few minor bugs.

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!

Hi, Peter (sorry, I cannot at you)

You may want to refer to Introduction – Lumiform Public API to see how to authenticate. The problem isn't necessarily an issue with Power Automate since you are sending an HTTP request to another service. According to the information on the Lumiform site, you do not have a valid key based on the error you are getting (Unauthorized). The link above will tell you how to obtain a key and apply it to your HTTP request.

Hi Peter,

I checked the Lumiform documentation (thanks David for sharing it!!) and it looks like you are missing the Content-Type header. You can fix it to simply adding Content-Type application/json to your headers, such as highlighted below:

Hi @rzaneti and @David_MA,

The flow on the left is one that used to work and the one on the right is the one not working, below the "Actions section you can see this has changed. How do i change that?
