Question

I’m having trouble sending data via webhooks. The JSON string I’m sending is about 1700 characters and never shows up in the zap. If I half its length it does show up. Is there a size limit to POST to webhooks?

Hi @LandL 

Good question.

For context, please post detailed screenshots with what you are referring to in your Zap step, thanks.

The Zap needs to be open in editor mode to pull thru more examples.

So make sure to test test with the Zap editor open, then try to pull thru more examples.

Can you give us a better sense of the data structure in the longer data payloads?

Perhaps provide screenshots of short VS long.

Otherwise, you can open a ticket with Zapier Support for further assistance: https://zapier.com/app/get-help
