Hey Everyone, I was hoping you might be able to help e with this one. I have a custom connector hitting an API thats returning a text JWT. When I test the connector it works but when I run it in the flow I get
Action 'Authenticate_1' failed: Http request failed: the content was not a valid JSON. Error while parsing JSON: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: e. Path '', line 0, position 0.'
I have tried running it as a straight http call and I get the same error
Any help would be much appreciated

Hi @PD-09040607-0

Need to see the actual response from the flow run (the JSON)

Hi @Michael E. Gernaey

Thanks for the response, In the flow I am getting nothing as an output and have even tried running a compose after the action fails to try to grab any outputs.

The error is BadRequest Http request failed: the content was not a valid JSON. Error while parsing JSON: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: e. Path '', line 0, position 0.'

What I should be getting (and I am getting when I test the custom connector/ run it in postman is just a text response with the JWT i.e. eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1*******enE

Thanks in advance for your help
