Hello @Mahesh PR - Thanks for reaching out! Are you sending a valid JSON payload with a Content-type: application/json header? You have defined the JSON schema below in the Request action to match the Body of the incoming request:

"properties": {
        "CaptureError": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "GroupId": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "GroupName": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "RunSeq": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "RunSeqName": {
            "type": "string"
        }
    }

This makes the Request trigger expect the payload in incoming requests to be a data type of JSON along with a Content-type: application/json header. However, If you're invoking the request with the Content-type: application/json header but sending a payload that's not a valid JSON, you'll hit the error below:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "InvalidRequestContent",
        "message": "The request content is not valid and could not be deserialized: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: a. Path '', line 0, position 0.'."
    }
}

Could you verify if the payload is a valid JSON, and let us know if the issue persists?
