422 Error When Creating Document Automation

[Jacob M. Small]

I'm attempting to use api v4 to create a new document automation. I think I have the json right but I keep getting the same 422 error:

{
  "error": {
    "type": "ArgumentError",
    "message": "An invalid argument was supplied: Formats are required"
  }
}

Here's the json I'm sending:

{
  "data": {
    "document_template": {
      "id": {id}
    },
    "filename": "{desired name}",
    "formats|": "pdf",
    "matter": {
      "id": {id}
    }
  }
}

Is this a bug or something I'm getting wrong? The inclusion of a pipe at the end of the formats key in the documentation seems odd to me, so I tried it with and without the pipe. It has no effect.

Sincerely,

Jacob

Their documentation is bugged. Remove the pipe from the JSON. 

By the way, if you’re a .net developer, you might consider taking a look at my library.

Also I think that formats is supposed to be an array.

There we go. getting rid of the pipe and sending the value as an array did it. Thanks!

As for .net... Nope, just an attorney with too much time on my hands! I write a bit of applescript, javascript, and swift. Mostly I tinker.
