I have configured [frame.io](http://frame.io) to call a zapier webhook when a project is created. The zap then calls the [frame.io](http://frame.io) api to modify the project\_preferences.

URL: `https://api.frame.io/v2/projects/{my_project_id}`

Request Body:

```auto
{
 "project_preferences": {
     "notify_slack": true
  }
}

```

I have tried including the id in the payload too, and a few other variations. Anyways, the endpoint returns 200 but in the response.data I can see that notify slack has not been changed, and when I go to the UI it is also unchanged. Am I misunderstanding the payload?

For anyone else that runs into this, the issue ended up being a missing `content-type: application/json` headers on the API request headers. Once added, everything started working!

It would appear that when a request doesn’t include that header, we respond with a `200` status code, but nothing actually happens.
