JSON parameter need to be a valid JSON Guys, I hope you find it well. I’m making a request on n8n and for some reason it’s not accepting my variables and it gives an error in the JSON. First I was pulling them from an Excel, then now I created a SET node to try and see if it worked, but it doesn’…

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable. n8n version: Database (default: SQLite): n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Operating system:

@mateus.silva , it’s a different error now. The HTTP Request node in the last workflow you shared has an extra space in between double curly braces and thus it is not a valid expression.
