“description”: “Test”,
“assignment_group”: “CAB Approval”
}

Replace all the double quotes with single quotes and send it as string…

“{
‘short_description’: ‘Unable To connect To office wifi’,
‘description’: ‘Test’,
‘assignment_group’: ‘CAB Approval’
}”

Thank you @HareeshMR now its taking in string format working fine.
one more thing these key values are always dynamic. i tried giving them in variable but no luck. can you please check.

“{
‘short_description’: '”+shortdes.ToString+“',
‘description’: ‘Test’,
‘assignment_group’: ‘CAB Approval’
}”

what is the error?

Before giving it as a input to the post request, use assign activity to build the entire string, then give it as a variable to the request. So that the string built with the dynamic content.

@HareeshMRam am doing the same, using the assign activity to insert the body and passing the string . but while inserting the variable of fields like short description which are dynamic am getting this error
String comments must end with double quotes

“{
‘short_description’: '”+shortdes.ToString+“',
‘description’: ‘Test’,
‘assignment_group’: ‘CAB Approval’
}”

Hi @gopianth,

The problem is that, the string needs to be in a single line while you are assigning it to a variable, it can’t be as the body we send in postman.

Here is the workflow PassingJsonStringFromAssign.zip (1.9 KB)

Let me know if it helps
