Cannot update Base URL on Monday Apps Feature Page

Hi @mrautomation,

Ahh sorry to see that you’re dealing with this odd issue.

I think we did have a little bit of an outage today but that seems to be fixed now. Are you still running into any trouble?

Thanks,
Helen

Hi @Helen! Thank you for the response.

I did get passed that issue, but now I am running into a new issue where I can’t save an updated Recipe.

See the below screenshot.

Let me know if you see anything that stands out!

Cheers,
Chris | Mr. Automation

@basdebruin you seeing this issue, too?

@mrautomation looks to me you are exceeding the max amount of characters in the action part of the sentence. I believe it is 250 max. Your variable names do also count to this number, so maybe shortening these name could help you a bit.

@basdebruin Makes a ton more sense. How did you figure that out? Trial and Error or do you have access to other documentation?

Also, what’s the workaround here given that I have so many mapping fields? Is there a way to combine all variables into a single object that the user can map into (in other words 1 input field for all variables as opposed to 1 input field per variable?)

Cheers,
Chris

I hit that limit myself and after contacting support I was told of this max number of characters. I can’t recall it is documented 😦 . I double check my email conversation and the limit is actual 255 characters. The same limit applies for the trigger and the action part. I don’t think you can “combine” your variable. I think you should rephrase and shorten your variable names.

What I sometimes do is to use the trigger part sentence so I have the full 255 + 255 character space. However you need to store the variable from the trigger part somewhere as the action endpoint does not have access to the variables in the trigger part.

@basdebruin @mrautomation

Precisely! Great catch.

It’s a bit hard to find, but it is stated in our documentation here: https://monday.com/developers/apps/custom-trigger

Glad you were able to figure it out!
