I’m working on a project that requires that responses from Qualtrics Surveys get logged in airtable. I keep encountering this mysterious error when I try to create a record via POST. Any advice or direction you might be able to share would be greatly appreciated! I’ve been trying to solve this for almost three days now.
First I create a JSON object formatted according to the api’s specifications in a code task after the response is recorded, then pass that JSON object to the web service to POST to airtable
Here’s the full message I get from Qualtrics when I attempt to write to airtable, with the error message highlighted in red below:
