Hello,
I’m creating a custom webhook zap with Spotify and I believe I put in a valid token, but I am receiving this error - “Only valid bearer authentication supported".
Best answer
Invalid Token

The API Key needs to be placed after Bearer, not in the Basic Auth field.

There are 2 required header fields: Authorization & Content-Type.
Add “Authorization” as a field below Content-Type in your Zap step.
Then make sure the value has “Bearer ” before the API Key.

Thanks that almost worked, but I’m getting a “The app returned "JSON body doesn't conform to specification" error now.

I suggest referencing the DEVELOPER link included previously.
Looks like there is an extra space before and maybe after the dynamic URL in the JSON.
