Hi,

For the project, I need to create users in IAM via universal. Created a process flow for the same. I am able to create a user with static parameters. However, for a dynamic variable its giving error.
Please guide what am I missing.

 

variables used in process parameter:

content parameter:

[  {       "usr_id": {email_id}
           ,"first_name":  "test1"
           ,"sur_name": "naik"
           ,"appl_lang_id": "ENG"
           ,"authentication_type": 3
           ,"email":  {email_id}
           ,"allow_change_password": 1
           ,"password_expiration_policy": 0
        }]

URL:

http://hrms.app.sisar.nl/indicium_dev/iam/iam/usr(tenant_id=1, usr_id={email_id})/task_set_usr_password

process variable : email

I took help of below :

Hi All,
Below is the format that worked for variable inputs:

URL : 

http://abcv/iam/iam/usr(tenant_id=1, usr_id='{email_id}') 

Content: 

{       "usr_id": "{email_id}" 

           ,"first_name":  "test1" 

           }

Header: 

[{"key": "Authorization","value": "Zoho-oauthtoken {Authorization}"}]

    Hi Jasper,

    I updated the JSON, as below :

    [  {       "usr_id": "{email_id}"
               ,"first_name":  "test1"
               ,"sur_name": "naik"
               ,"appl_lang_id": "ENG"
               ,"authentication_type": 3
               ,"email":  "{email_id}"
               ,"allow_change_password": 1
               ,"password_expiration_policy": 0
            }]

    Synced IAM , also refreshed model while using the GUI. Still getting below error :

    Please guide.

    Thanks, Rucha

    Hi Rusha, 

    As Mark mentioned here, the content should not have the square brackets around the JSON.

    Also, you should remove the quotes from the variable value.

    Hi Jasper,

    I removed the [] brackets and retried, still its giving the same error.

      {       "usr_id": "{email_id}"
               ,"first_name":  "test1"
               ,"sur_name": "naik"
               ,"appl_lang_id": "ENG"
               ,"authentication_type": 3
               ,"email":  "{email_id}"
               ,"allow_change_password": 1
               ,"password_expiration_policy": 0
            }

     

     

    Thanks, Rucha

    I removed the quotes for the variable as well and tried, giving same issue.

     

      {       "usr_id": {email_id}
               ,"first_name":  "test1"
               ,"sur_name": "naik"
               ,"appl_lang_id": "ENG"
               ,"authentication_type": 3
               ,"email":  {email_id}
               ,"allow_change_password": 1
               ,"password_expiration_policy": 0
            }

    Thanks, Rucha

    Hi Rucha, 

    I meant the quotes from the variable value here:

    If this still doesn't work you could write the value of the content variable to a logging table (using a process procedure for example) and check if the JSON is valid on this website: https://jsonlint.com/

    Hi Rucha,

    You might also want to catch the HTTP Response headers in a process flow variable. It might contain a TSFMessages header with the error.

    This error is Base64 encoded which you can convert here:
