Hello,

I have problems with the Marketing Beta API. I have used the POST request

`/marketing/v3/emails `

to create an email. I have added the parameters name, recipient and widgets to the body of the request, but the output does not contain any of my inputs.

This is my input:

Is there something missing in the body of the request?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

It looks like you’re facing some issues with the Marketing Beta API. Here are a few points to check that might help resolve your issue:

1. **Check API Documentation:**

2. **Validate JSON Structure:**

3. **Required Parameters:**

4. **Data Types and Values:**

5. **API Key and Authentication:**

6. **Error Messages:**

7. **Testing with Minimal Data:**

Here’s a simplified example to test with minimal data:

```lia-code-sample
{
 "name": "test mail wmf",
 "widgets": {
 "module-0-0-0": {
 "body": {
 "alignment": "center",
 "css_class": "dnd-module",
 "img": {
 "alt": "cropped-logo-3",
 "height": 130,
 "src": "https://f.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/27065384/cropped-logo-3.png",
 "width": 160
 },
 "module_id": 1367093,
 "path": "@hubspot/image_email",
 "schema_version": 2
 },
 "id": "module-0-0-0",
 "type": "module"
 }
 }
}

```

This minimal example can help verify if your API request structure is correct. If this works, you can then build upon it by adding more modules and data.

I hope these tips help you troubleshoot the issue.
