Hi! I'm trying to use Alteryx to run the Create or Update Profile command to post updated attributes in Klaviyo. I keep getting "An object with data is required" error, even though I have data selected in the payload. 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.

    Hello @ryannschuess 

    Where is the payload? I see the data values but it should be an object with profile details

     

    Here is what data should look like:

     "data": {
        "type": "profile",
        "id": "01GDDKASAP8TKDDA2GRZDSVP4H",
        "attributes": {

    A screenshot of the payload is in the comments.

    I was able to get the command to work! I need to add {“data”: { … }} to the payload and change the formatting of the download tool in Alteryx.

    Here is the data format

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

    Thank you for your help!
