Attempting to connect Zapier to the Anytime Mailbox API - https://docs.anytimemailbox.com/operator-api/ via my own integration.

 

Appears to test successfully via Postman, I keep getting this error when testing the connection.

 

Tips, pointers greatly appreciated.

 

I took a look at these two posts, sadly they didn’t help.

Hi @mark.eaton ,

I noticed that the Test request is making a PUT to the base URL: https://connect.anytimemailbox.com/v1

However, from the documentation, it’s unclear to me if the base URL itself is a valid API endpoint, at least with the PUT method. 

Have you tried using another endpoint, perhaps the List Mailboxes endpoint?

https://docs.anytimemailbox.com/operator-api/#operation/ListMailboxes

For example, if you haven’t already, I might suggest trying a GET request to:

https://connect.anytimemailbox.com/v1/mailboxes

Thanks @connorz, that got the connection testing successfully. On to the next challenge, designing the Zap based on the API’s functionality.
