Error in sending JSON with array in an AWS SNS node

[melvinomh]

Hi, I am trying to send JSON data to an AWS SNS topic and I am encountering an issue whenever I send an array in the message payload.

Error

NodeApiError: UNKNOWN ERROR - check the detailed error for more information
    at Object.awsApiRequest (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-nodes-base/dist/nodes/Aws/GenericFunctions.js:23:15)

    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:590:53

Here is as sample payload I am sending:

{{ '{
      "name": "Me",
      "options":  ["1234", "4567"]
}' }}

It works if I remove the array from the message payload.

Do I need to do anything special using Javascript to resolve this? Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Thanks.

Hi @melvinomh, I am sorry for the trouble. We’ve added this to our backlog and will confirm once the problem is fixed. In the meantime, perhaps you can URL-encode your message? This should avoid the problem and could be done like so:

Thanks, that worked! Appreciate the help!

Hey @melvinomh,

Just a quick update for you on this, I have opened a PR to fix this. Once reviewed internally we can get it merged and generally available

Hey @joakimvivas,

Thanks man! What version is this released?

Hey @melvinomh,

Looks like it is in 0.223.0 which was released yesterday, It may be worth waiting for the release to be tagged as latest before upgrading but it shouldn’t cause any issues if you wanted to use it now.
