I’m trying to search contacts in Apollo using filters for 1. person location, 2. organization, 3. person title using Zapier webhooks (since there isn’t a native Apollo search integration). I get the API call to be made, but it isn’t respecting my filters. When I add the same filters to the Apollo API documentation, it works (I tried with just location and title first). What am I doing wrong?

Based on the API documentation, the parameters you are trying to use are QUERY parameters, so those won’t go in the fields “Body” fields, rather those will go as part of the URL field.
EXAMPLE
https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/mixed_people/search?person_locations[]=CA&person_locations[]=NY
Make sure you have your Headers set. (not shown in the screenshots)
+6I could be wrong, but you specified sending a json body, but it looks like you’re sending it form data in the second screenshot.
I've not used the Apollo API (yet), but with most other API search calls I’ve made, they typically end up as query parameters or in a raw json body.
any chance you can show us your entire webhook configuration step (and remove any sensitive data)? Bonus points if you also include a screenshot of the relevant part of the Apollo API since I’m lazy and don’t want to look for it myself. :-)
I tried that too and also got no results! I made a loom video of the full config + API docs: https://www.loom.com/share/efce579b34094a4085ab257bd6b9c055

What is the link to the app API endpoint documentation you used to configure the API request?
Here is the sample code from the API documentation:
curl --request POST \
--url 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/mixed_people/search?person_titles[]=general%20manager&person_titles[]=assistant%20general%20manager%2C%20general%20manager%2C%20owner%2C%20president%2C%20franchisee&include_similar_titles=false&person_locations[]=st.%20louis%2C%20mo&organization_locations[]=' \
--header 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: r-ySn1p3jGkqMkfKT6JrVQ'

Try sharing your screenshots and link to the api documentation with ChatGPT and ask for it to fix the code, which may have to do with encoding.
