hey guys. i was looking forward to send push message by Onesignal API so hard.  
And now i just succeed but it is kinda weird so i need your help.

this is my code

and if i run it then the result message is like this.

and i was thinking there were so many slash(/). so i just tried type in one block instead of ‘text join’ block.  
and boom. it works.

but i don’t understand.  
why text block include slash? i need ‘text join’ block.  
Please help.

I don’t think this is related to the text block @saramdl.gaunde021 or the join block, you simply have a mistake in your JSON.

The error message says: `unexpected character at line 1, column 10` which is the 10th character. If you count 10 letters in you have a `=` where you should have a `:`

Hope that helps.

omg haha that was my mistake. but i still receive error message.

now i got  
“Message Notifications must have Any/English language content”  
despite the fact that i already have the content.

or other case of APIs (change user’s tag), if i do in the same way (which is not using join block) then i get right result. but if im do it with Join block, then the result is,

“There was a problem in the JSON you submitted.”,“unexpected end of JSON input”

Hi

Just worked this out, yopu just need to set URL, Headers and Body

In the body string just add all the neccesary query parameters, in my case youll find:

{“app\_id”: "YOUR APP ID HERE ",“included\_segments”: [“Active Users”],“contents”: {“en”: “THE MESSAGE TO DELIVER HERE”}}
