Has anyone been able to successfully use the Airtable API Request action to make a PATCH request? I was able to get it to work for a DELETE request but no matter what I do the PATCH is returning “The app returned "Could not find field "fields" in the request body".”. Even when I test with something simple n the Body like like 

{"fields": {"Name": "New Value"}}

Am I missing something obvious or could this be an issue on the backend? 

Found the answer, for anyone who finds this in the future - Zapier isn’t automatically passing over the Content-Type in the header so I had to add that manually: 

Content-Type: application/json

Awesome work, ​@zoecastro! 🙌 Thank you so much for popping back in here to share how you got that PATCH request working—really appreciate it. 🤗

I’ll mark your reply here as the answer to help surface it to others the community that might be facing similar issues when using API Request actions.

Looking forward to seeing more of your insights shared with the community in the future. Thanks again! 🧡
