I have read the html text in text file and stored into string variable (StrHtmlText).

Using Http request activity to pass the whole html content in body StrHtmlText variable.

Passing the html content in body format: “{”“Text”" : “”“+StrHtmlText+”“”}"

I’m getting the below error message

Error Message: “The payload is not valid JSON.”

Could you please someone assist how to pass html content in json format without html format changes.

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your input.
Actually, I need to pass html content text in json format using http request post method. Using regex I removed all the html tags and converted to plain text and able to update it. But I lost html text format. May I know how to update html text format content without losing format.
