Cannot update Base URL on Monday Apps Feature Page

[mrautomation]

Hello awesome Monday Community + Team,

Currently facing an issue where I cannot update my Base URL, Authorization URL, or Redirect URLs. I get an infinite loading when trying to save the feature after a change, and, if it stops the infinite loading, it just makes the URL the original URL before I saved it.

Is anyone else seeing issues with this?

You’ll see above that I changed the Base URL to a different ngrok URL and it’s currently infinite loading on save.

Here is an image of console in devtools showing an error for “saveAppFeature”:

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,

Just wanted to follow up on this @Helen @amir Here is a video to help see the bug: Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software

@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.

Precisely! Great catch.

It’s a bit hard to find, but it is stated in our documentation here: Build custom integrations | monday.com

Glad you were able to figure it out!
