Klaviyo POST API command data is required error

[ryanns]

Hi! I'm trying to use Alteryx to run a POST API command to update attributes on a profile in Klaviyo (email provider). I've successful ran a GET API command (Get Profiles (klaviyo.com) with my key, but keep getting an error message when I try the POST command (Create or Update Profile (klaviyo.com))

The error is: "An object with data is required". I have data selected in the payload so I think my syntax is incorrect but I'm not sure how to fix this. Below are screen shots of the POST command to update the organization for a profile.

I'm not sure if this is the issue, but can you try wrapping your data within below? Per error, it needs data object. 

{
"data": {

    "type": "profile",

    ".........

  }

{

Points to both of you - first for including the API specs - second for the great recommendation. I'd try ' {
"data":'+[data] +'}'

and then feeding it in.

Hi thanks for the feedback! That worked. My updated data format is

{
"data": {
    "type": "profile",
    "id": "[id]",
    "attributes": {
      "email": "[email]",
      "organization ": "ํ[organization name]"
    }
  }
}

I also had to change the payload to 'Take Query String/ Body from Field' in the Download tool.
