I'm using Postman to test my API skills in Marketing Cloud. I created the following SOAP API to pull some details on a specific Send.

FYI, the endpoint is : https://YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.soap.marketingcloudapis.com/Service.asmx;

<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">     
<Header>
        <fueloauth>{{accessToken}}</fueloauth>  
</Header>   
<Body>      
<RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
<RetrieveRequest>
                <ObjectType>SendSummary</ObjectType>
                    <Properties>AccountEmail</Properties>
                    <Properties>AccountID</Properties>
                    <Properties>AccountName</Properties>
                    <Properties>Client</Properties>
                    <Properties>SendID</Properties>
                <filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">
                    <Property>ID</Property>
                    <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
                    <value>692734</value>
                </filter> 
</RetrieveRequest>      
</RetrieveRequestMsg>   
</Body> 
</Envelope>

Can someone please tell me why the response is coming out :

WSE012: The input was not a valid SOAP message because the following information is missing: action.

Note the action in the header. Also note the To node in the header -- update with your stack, ie s7, s8, swhatever. Alternatively, if you are using OAuth 2.0 for the installed package retrieving the Token, you may need https://YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.soap.marketingcloudapis.com/Service.asmx in the To node of the Header.

  • I tried that - it still gives me the same error

  • @balwill I have updated the request to include all the nodes I typically include in my Postman request body.

  • I tried above out of curiosity and was also getting "information is missing: action." for the original envelope with Action added in the header. For your updated version of the answer, I am just getting a 400 Bad request (of course with modified filter, stack and token)
