API Connector - How to send an empty parameter

davidavellan · 2024-07-20T01:24:25.205Z

So I’m trying to unset a variable for stripe, pause_collection, which controls invoices. Seems easier enough, you just need to set that variable to empty. https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pause-payment

However, I’m using the API Connector to do this, and it doesn’t seem to work.

(FYI the authorization and subids were removed for the picture, but are in place)

When I run this, it runs successfully, but it doesn’t unset the variable and nothing changes. If I run this through postman, it works as expected.

It appears that the empty value is not being passed by the API connector. I can check the box allow blank on or off and nothing changes. Any advice here?

Do you want to send null or just not pass this key?

I want to send null to unset the variable.

Bringing this up, as I’m stuck here. Any help is appreciated.

Found that you are using Stripe

Try to use raw data instead and leave it empty
(set pause_collection= in raw body)

You could also try it directly in url
?pause_collection=

Thank you Jici. While the raw data didn’t work (I tried that already), I didn’t think to put it in the URL. That worked.
