    Hi msellner_1025,

     

    According to the format of what you say works the line should look like:

     ""fileName"":""" & Expensify_PullDataRequest & """

    Otherwise you either missing the "" ( ""fileName"":Expensify_PullDataRequest) or send Expensify_PullDataRequest as value instead of  is_reconciliation_2816079167651847981.csv.

     

    Cheers,

    John

The fileName is not formatted correctly.

 

Thanks,

    It may be because you surrounded it with curly braces ( { } ). Try using it just as ""fileName"":"csvFile"

      That was my initial thought, but when I try that, I get the following error.

        Does it work just as ""fileName"":csvFile ?

        Sorry, I'm not great with API syntax so not sure what the valid options are.

         

        If that doesn't work, can you send a screenshot of the Expensify_PullDataRequest query result please? It may be an issue with how this is being output.
