I encountered the following error when connecting to Airtable via API:

“message”: “Could not find field ‘fields’ in the request body” .

  1. My goal: Use the API to send data from the Retool table back to Airtable for updating.
  2. Issue: "message": "Could not find field "fields" in the request body"
  3. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot: I’ve already reviewed forum posts and spent a whole day trying, but still couldn’t get the values in the body.
  4. Additional info: (Cloud or Self-hosted, Screenshots)

The following screenshot shows the result I tested through Postman — everything works perfectly.
But Retool is showing an error — your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It’s already resolved — set the body to Raw. :joy:
