UCWA 2.0 Trying to add forward contact but getting ParameterValidationFailure

Question

I am using UCWA 2.0 for some Skype4Business integration in our intranet web application.

I can successfully connect and do some stuff for example: changing availability status or asking for callforwarding settings of the user.

What I like to do that does not work is set a forward contact for the user. Documentation for this: click here

My code for the POST call:

 using (var client = new HttpClient())
 {
     var param = new { target = "sip:[email protected]" };
     var paramJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(param, Formatting.Indented);

     client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
     client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Referrer = new Uri(result4._links.xframe.href);
     client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"{result3.token_type} {result3.access_token}");

     var url = $"https://ucwebext.domain.be/{applicationUrl}/me/callForwardingSettings/immediateForwardSettings/immediateForwardToContact";

     var responseNew = await client.PostAsync(url, new StringContent(paramJson, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));
     var responseString = await responseNew.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}

Same code using RestSharp:

var client = new RestClient($"https://ucwebext.domain.be/{applicationUrl}");

var restR = new RestRequest("/me/callForwardingSettings/immediateForwardSettings/immediateForwardToContact", Method.POST);

var param = new { target = "sip:[email protected]" };
var jsonToSend = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(param, Formatting.Indented);

restR.AddParameter("application/json; charset=utf-8", jsonToSend, ParameterType.RequestBody);
restR.AddParameter("referer", result4._links.xframe.href);

restR.AddHeader("Authorization", $"{result3.token_type} {result3.access_token}");

restR.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;

var response = client.ExecuteAsPost(restR, "POST");

Request header from the call:

POST https://ucwebext.domain.be/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications/101024253230/me/callForwardingSettings/immediateForwardSettings/immediateForwardToContact   HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Referer: https://ucwebext.domain.be/Autodiscover/XFrame/XFrame.html
Authorization: Bearer cwt=AAEBHAEFAAAAAAAF...0Q_OXzsR4g4F-PpYaMGK10Pg
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Host: ucwebext.domain.be
Content-Length: 48
Expect: 100-continue

{"target":"sip:[email protected]"}

I get the following error:

{"code":"BadRequest","subcode":"ParameterValidationFailure","message":"Please check what you entered and try again.","parameters":[{"name":"target","reason":"MissingOrInvalid"}]}

I tried everything and don't understand why the parameter is not submitting or invalid.

Any help is much appreciated!

SOLUTION

Instead of using JSON I added the parameter as querystring which worked!

 var client = new RestClient($"https://ucwebext.domain.be/{applicationUrl}");
 var restR = new RestRequest($"/me/callForwardingSettings/immediateForwardSettings/immediateForwardToContact{Url.Encode("?target=sip:[email protected]")}", Method.POST);

 restR.AddParameter("referer", result4._links.xframe.href);
 restR.AddHeader("Authorization", $"{result3.token_type} {result3.access_token}");

 var response = client.ExecuteAsPost(restR, "POST");
