I am attempting to do my first import into an application using a http import. The import application needs the data in XML format (which I have not done before), and I am receiving an error (appears related to my post body, but not 100% sure). I am not sure if this is tied to the formatting of my XML, or something different.

Here is the XML code I am using for import (cc information is test data):

```
    add_customer {{connection.http.encrypted}} 5431111111111111 1025 {{record.IntPS __First_Name__ c}} {{record.IntPS __Last_Name__ c}}
```

Here is the error I am receiving when I try to import:

Additionally, here is the webpage outlining the data elements:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@daveguderian {{connection.http.encrypted}} is invalid. It should be something like {{connection.http.encrypted.security\_key}} or however you stored it in your encrypted fields section.

Thanks Tyler. I appreciate the help on this.

Another question I have is that I have an API where the "POST" information needs to be in the URL Params as displayed below in Postman. Where would these same keys be entered in Celigo?

@daveguderian parameters are just put in the relative uri field just as you see in postman uri field in your screenshot.

Thanks so much Tyler. So my next question is how should I send the security\_key. In postman I am sending it via the Query Params, but it doesnt actually show up in the actual relative URI in Postman (as you can see from the initial screenshot).

How do I replicate that in Celigo as Celigo is automatically adding it to the end of the URI?

Dave,

You can put that info in the HTTP encrypted field and then call it with handlebar statement as Tyler stated before in the relative URI

{{connection.http.encrypted.security\_key}}

@daveguderian you should probably just use settings on the connection level so you don't have to specify this connection key on every export and import.
