Hi,

I’m trying to create an automation where, when a new BaseCamp task to create a new piece of content (blog, etc.) is assigned, ChatGPT will draft it —and then email it to me as a Google Doc.

However, I keep getting the “Nonetype” Error even though all variabes seem to be mapped correctly. Screenshots below - any suggestions welcomed, as I am new to this.

Many thanks in advance!

---

Full Error Message:

The error indicates that the input data for the ChatGPT step is not being populated correctly, particularly the field that is supposed to receive data from a previous step. In this case, the instructions field is trying to pull data from a previous step using {{309897247__description}}, but it seems that the expected data is not being passed, leading to a failure in creating the conversation.

The workflow currently:

 

 

How I currently have the ChatGPT integration set up:

 

Hi ​@rae 

TIP: Click field labels to see tooltips with more info that may provide guidance.

 

Try moving the Instructions data inputs to the User Message data inputs. (see screenshot below)

 

For live Zap Runs, check the DATA IN/OUT for each step to trace the data flow and troubleshoot, and check the LOGS tab to see more details about the encountered error.

 

If you are still having issues, help us have more info by posting screenshots showing the encountered error so we have true context.

 

 

Hi ​@Troy Tessalone, thanks for the reply.

 

I’ve moved the the Instructions data inputs to the User Message data inputs as suggested, but I’m still getting the same error. It’s not a live run, so I can’t see data input/output. However, I did test the output of the previous step (the Filter) by having it send a copy of the BaseCamp description to a Google Doc. This worked fine, so I know that the output of that step is capable of sending the correct information to GPT. 

 

More screenshots below. Thanks for the help.
