    Hi jm420a ,
    yes, you are mixing M- and JSON-syntax here: 
    In M, a record is defined using square brackets instead of curly ones in JSON.
    And when using the Json.FromValue-function, you have to pass M-code to it.
    So removing the curly brackets in there, should hopefully do the trick:

    let
        
        PostURL = "https://prod-59.westus.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/281583e6ee6b45d6705dfaa8531/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=W1O8t6yfYjcXLPsmKZdmE7PsvxFWtZUjz2miFY"
        , AccessKey2 = "aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee"
        , TenantURL2= "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com"
    
        , Source = Json.Document(
                        Web.Contents(
                            PostURL    
                            , [Headers=[#"content-type"="application/json"]
                            , Content = 
                                Json.FromValue(
                                    [AccessKey=AccessKey2,TenantURL=TenantURL2]
                                    )
                               ]
                                    )
                                  )
