When I pass Content-Type through Header in Custom Request the error I get is 

Failed to create a request in Webhooks by Zapier

The app returned "400".

If I don’t pass the Content-Type my API gets failed as it is not able to reserialize the data sent to a object. 

 

Hi ​@Datta Shewale 

For us to have more info, post these screenshots:

  • how your Zap step API request is configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible
  • the encountered error

 

Also, link to the app API endpoint documentation you used to configure the API request.

Hi ​@Datta Shewale,

 

If you're encountering a "400 Bad Request" error in Webhooks by Zapier, it indicates that the server could not process your request due to invalid syntax. To troubleshoot, first, ensure that the Content-Type aligns with your data; for instance, JSON data should have a Content Type of 'application/json.' Next, validate that the data you're sending matches the specified Content and is properly formatted, such as ensuring valid JSON when required. Additionally, check the API documentation for any specific headers or restrictions that might be necessary.

 

We're here to help, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.
