Let me start by stating, I am new to this kind of stuff (API). The company I work for builds applications in ASP.net. They enabled the ability to create a new company in their multi-tenant environment using a POST command.
I am attempting to create a function in a custom app I am working on that would create a new company using some of the data within the custom app. Going through the documentation, either I do not understand what I am reading or there are numerous ways to accomplish the same thing? Referring to where parameters are placed. Appears they can be put in within the URL itself, they can be added under the section “Parameters” or you can add them in JSON Body using <>. I have tried all of these methods and seem to hit the same issue.
When I go to Initialize the call, I get a rather uninformative API error (see screenshot). However, when I check the application I am communicating with, everything worked perfectly. However, it never Initializes, so I cant use it in my workflows. If I go to initialize again, I get a different error “The API call returns a non-object and you picked JSON. Please check.”. I know my company’s application would not allow another user to be setup with the same company name, so I understand an error or failed response here. If I change the default values so unique and reinitialize, it will work but throws the first API error and therefore I cannot move forward.
Of course, once I clear this hurdle, I need to call this API from a workflow, where I would replace all the parameter values with a lookup. All parameters are not marked private and queryst is also checked off. API type is Action (does that mean I cannot capture back a 200 success message?). I am guessing this is rather straight-forward, though figured I would indicate what I am doing here in case I am completely in the wrong direction.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Keith
