Formatting Request Payload as an Array rather than a Hash

[demontoya]

I am trying to format a request payload to be an array of objects, but it appears that the payload HTTP method defaults to formatting it as a hash such as 

{
  email: "exampleemail",
  name: "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt"
}

However, it needs to be enveloped in an array like as follows:

[
  {
    email: "exampleemail",
    name: "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt"
  }
]

The payload HTTP method does not accept arrays, as this will throw an error. Is there a way to do this? What are your thoughts on this?

I just tested this and the HTTP request payload (specifically for a POST) will accept an array without issue. You may be encoding it incorrectly. Can you provide more details on the error you receive?

I tried enveloping the hash in an array in the following manner:

request_payload = {"data" => {"email" => "exampleemail", "name" => "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt"}}

arrayed_req_payload = [request_payload['data']]

post(url).payload(arrayed_req_payload || {})

But I get an error saying undefined method `to_hash' for [nil]:Array at line: xxx where the line is the payload method. It's as if it is trying to convert it to a hash.

Ah, you're in the connector SDK. This is interesting...

Looking at the SDK docs, it does indeed look like it's trying to hash whatever you put inside payload. I recommend checking with support about this. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

No worries! I appreciate you looking into this!
