Hi there,
 
I have noticed that my Invoke Web Service request are being blocked until I use User Agent Mozilla 5.0. Although this time I was sending a request to WhatsApp Cloud API and I got the error below.
 
 
{"error":{"message":"(#100) The parameter file is required.","code":100,"type":"OAuthException","fbtrace_id":"A-MpfHoy11gyLCCWreKv8hX"}}

    Hi @wmtei,
     
    The response suggests that your body payload is missing a file field value?
     
    Have you double checked you used the correct payload (is the same payload for example working in Postman?)

    Can you share the payload/setup of the action you are currently using? That would be useful for troubleshooting.
     
    Happy to help out 😁

    I share more #PowerAutomate and #SharePointOnline content on my Blog, LinkedIn, Bluesky profile or Youtube Channel
