Hey there! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong when trying to send a webhook to Airtable. I've tried this in Postman and it works perfectly, but I just keep getting the following error when I send via Zapier - Can anyone help?

Hey everyone - I solved it. It looks like Zapier was consuming the first curly bracket in the JSON I was sending via webhook, so it was ultimately formatting the request incorrectly.

Solved by adding another curly bracket, and adding a space before the inserted value, and another space and a curly bracket.

'{ <value> }'

Hi @Saastronomical

I've just flagged this for escalation to Zapier support. They have access to console logs and should be able to help you out here. Someone from support will probably contact you soon.

Sadly neither Zapier's team or Airtable's support team can help.

Going to go another route. will post my solution here.
