@ariana you can try below option-

  1. Use mapper and copy entire body {“email”:“”,…} and use target field as $ in mapper.
  2. You don’t need to touch anything related to file upload option, rather add header field like below.
  3. Also make sure you choose snap execution as "validate and execution" at below.

    Hi there! Thanks for your help. Here is what I am looking at now, still no output:
    Mapper -

    Mapper validation output -

    POST Snap:

    Pipeline:

    Edit: I will add that I did try simply copying the body into the mapper with “$” in the Post snap but with the same (lack of) results.

      Change HTTP entity from $entity to JSON.stringify($entity).

        Hi ptaylor, thank you for the addition. Do I need to change any other settings if doing that? I am not getting output still ☹️

        This is the preview I get when I hover over stringify- is that what I would want?
