Hi have a Nintex workflow that features a ‘Call a web service’ step.. I’m trying to use the HTTP Patch request type to update an item via the API. 

I have tested through Postman and the Request Content of { “id”: “value”, “notification_email”: “value”} works successfully. 

When I run the workflow and log the output, I get a status of 200 (success), but the data is not updated. 

For context, I’m also using a HTTP Get against the same API earlier in the workflow, so Auth in the Request Headers isn’t the issue. 

Any ideas?

All good, looks like I found the issue, or at least how to solve it. 

I removed the spaces from the content and the Patch is now working successfully.

Hi ​@wtdev 

Welcome to the community.
Unfortunately, you have given us very little to go on here, so any reply will also be generic.
You said the response code was 200, but the action can also give you response headers and content.
Some APIs send back what you sent in the response content as a confirmation of what you sent. Does the API you are using do that? If so, is it showing the same information that you sent?
Are you able to look at logging on the API side to see what the API did with the request?
