How to Fix Make.com Bundle Validation Text Length Error
\ \ \If you are building advanced automation workflows, encountering the BundleValidationError in Make.com (formerly Integromat) can be incredibly frustrating. This usually happens when you try to pass long paragraphs into a field that expects a short string.
Why Does This Error Happen?
\When connecting APIs like OpenAI, Notion, or Twitter to Make, each input field has strict character limits. If your text payload exceeds this threshold, the module will throw a validation error and stop the scenario entirely.
\ \3 Steps to Fix the Text Length Limitation
\- \
- Identify the Truncation Source: Open your Make scenario history, click on the failed module, and inspect the input bundle to see which variable caused the overflow. \
- Apply the Substring Function: Inside the problematic field, wrap your variable with Make's native function:
substring(your_variable; 0; 2000). This limits the output to 2000 characters. \
- Enable Error Handling: Right-click the module, select "Add error handler", and choose "Ignore" or "Resume" to ensure your automation never stops again. \
