    Hi. Have you tried this?

    1. Exactly ONE open input view on the pipeline - this is where the passed data will land
    2. Pass the json doc in the body of the call to the URL
    3. Use REST POST, not GET

@jcampion, thanks for your response. This was really helpful and helped me to resolve this issue.

My pipeline is now setup with an open mapper, simply mapping $ to $input.
I tried your suggestion from postman, where a GET works,with no payload. My pipeline is setup with an open mapper, simply mapping $ to $input.

Trying to add a json body to and using POST resulted in a 500 error at first, but the good news is that the notification from the pipeline clued me into my mistake (exactly as you had directed me):

The state of pipeline [AC105 TEST inbound call]…] in organization … has changed to Failed.

Pipeline has no unlinked input views, but there is input data
Resolution:
Change the pipeline to have an unlinked input view or use a GET request
Reason:
An unlinked input view is required when using POST with a triggered task
