API Flow - How to pass entire JSON body to API? API test succeeds but Flow test fails.

I'm having trouble getting my API flow to work.

The API flow only receives a request body in JSON, which I want to then pass to another API in its entirety.

In the API call, the first step of the API Flow, I simply have the Body as $(input.MSCRM_OrderRequest} . I've also tried it with quotes around it.

When I paste my example JSON request in the Test tab for this API step, as the value of input.MSCRM_OrderRequest, I get a successful response. However, when I paste the same JSON request into the test tab of the API Flow as a whole, the API fails.

The failure error is:
Failed to call mingle-ionapi.inforcloudsuite.com/.../flowdefreq. Code is : 400 Error: Activity CreateEntireOrder failed with reason Bad Request and status 400 body {error={code=0x80060888, message=Invalid object provided in the request.}}

Hi Linkums,

If first API (CreateEntireOrder) is non infor API add endpoint polices for response which is fault handling.

Hi Linkums,

Can you please test the Api flow with following API.

Huh, well, testing it in Infor ION API > Infor API Flows gave me the response I expected.

Now my issue is that the decision condition step isn't routing as I'd expect. (Let me know if I should make a new thread for this.)

The first API call named "CreateEntireOrder" has an Output Parameter called ResultCode of response type RESULTCODE.

The response I'm testing gets a result code of 412.

The decision step has a decision parameter, also called ResultCode, and the value is ${CreateEntireOrder.ResultCode}.
The condition expression is "if ($.ResultCode == 412) 'exists'; else 'okay'" .
Branch 1's expression value is "exists". The only other branch is default.

I'm expecting the decision step to route to Branch 1 and perform additional API calls when CreateEntireOrder has a 412 response code, but the Branch 1 APIs aren't running. I'm not sure if that means that the API Flow is cancelled when CreateEntireOrder returns 412, or if the decision step is routing to the default branch instead of Branch 1.

When I run the API Flow from ION API, I get a response code of 412 and the message "Activity CreateEntireOrder failed with reason Precondition Failed and status 412 body {error={code=0x80040237, message=A record with matching key values already exists.}}"

Thanks, that did the trick!

We can also achieve this by making 'CreateEntireOrder' activity as optional as highlighted in below images.

This works for Infor Provisioned API's as well.
