Hi

Please assist, API is unable to read input provided in 'body' of HTTP when calling a ServiceDesk PUT API. When I have checked with PostMan, the api is working fine with the same input in body, its working with 'x-www-form-urlencoded' But when trying the same with Power automate flow, it gives error input_data is missing.

We need to pass an object in the x-www-form-urlencoded body.

Hi @JSingh3,

I see in the screenshot you might not have encoded the input, is that correct? That is required for the x-www-form-urlencoded content-type.

Have a look at this blog from Mohamed Ashiq Faleel. In the second part of that blog he demonstrates how to setup this type of request in the HTTP action, including the usage of the encodeUriComponent function to encode your payload.
