External API Request - Adding arbitrary string data before the JSON.

KenJ

Hi, I am using the External API Request function and it works fine when loading JSON parameters. However I am hoping to see if I can add some arbitary string data BEFORE the JSON paramters are sent. The remote location can happily receive a string before the JSON data.

For example, I am trying to add the word WARN as a string to the message below:

WARN {"a":123,"b":456}

but find the External API Request function ignores any string I place first and keeps loading the parameters like below, which is its normal function. Any suggestions, thanking you.

{"a":123,"b":456}

did you try to use "update variable" for that, before request sending step, to modify data you are sending?

@KenJ better if you post here the API request you are doing to see haw it's constructed.

Thank you, I have found an alternative that seems to do an OK result.
