Paging @ikbelkirasan for help.

It looks like that’s a message getting returned from the API endpoint, implying that it’s trying to parse the string value of a query param as a JSON object?  

What I would probably do next here is use Postman or something similar and make the same request from there.  This helps establish if the issue is related to the Zapier integration configuration or if the issue is with understanding what the server is expecting to get passed.  If it works in Postman, we can then try and figure out what’s different about the request being formed by Zapier.  If it doesn’t work in Postman, then we need to troubleshoot the API itself - and Postman is a tool specializing and focusing on just that.
