Error Reason:testIonApiMethod failed: {"error":"invalid_grant"}

Hello,

Can you provide a bit more information about your setup?

1. Did you enter a service account into the Workflow activity?

2. If so, how did you setup the service account and load it?

3. Can you provide any more screenshots of the setup of the ION API activity step?

Your setup looks ok. Some APIs don't have a Body area. I am guessing that is the case with this particular M3 API. If you expect to get something back from this query, you will want to setup at least one output parameter to hold the data in the API response.

The grant error likely means your service account was setup incorrectly, or the authentication between the Gateway and M3 is failing. The API Gateway has a transaction log you can view online as well that may provide more information. Take a closer look at the setup of both of those and if nothing looks incorrect you can open a Support incident.

Hi Keith,

Thank you for your response.

I tried with output parameter but still same error.

I was trying other way to use API feature, building an 'API's Connection point'. In order to build, tried to import service account in xml format. Getting an error as follows 'The import file contains invalid content or is not in the supported type xml.'

Any idea how to build an 'API Connection point' and what is the right format the service account should be?
