The Text Formatter step in my workflow stopped working on June 20th after a client's payment failed. I had integrated another platform to send a WhatsApp payment reminder, but the workflow failed, showing the error message I've attached below. Can someone assist me on this

Hello @Vyasa Kandasamy,

Thank you for your response and for sharing the screenshots.

However, the attached screenshots don’t clearly explain your use case or the purpose of using the Text Formatter – Replace Text step. From what we observe, you're attempting to replace a specific key with the exact same key, which wouldn’t have any impact on the data being passed forward.

We’d appreciate it if you could clarify the reason behind adding this step. If the intention is simply to pass the value forward, directly mapping the original content might achieve the same outcome without this additional step.

Looking forward to your clarification so we can assist you better.

Hello @Preeti Paryani,

Thank you for your response and for reviewing the screenshots.

The reason we included the Text Formatter – Replace Text step, even though it appears redundant, was to maintain formatting consistency across different outputs and ensure uniform handling of the data before passing it forward. This step acts as a safeguard in our setup to avoid any potential formatting issues that may occur when integrating with downstream apps like WhatsApp APIs, which can sometimes be sensitive to data structure or hidden characters.

That said, if there’s a more optimized or recommended approach to achieve this while keeping the formatting intact, we’d really appreciate your suggestions. We’re open to improving the workflow based on your guidance.

Looking forward to your insights and thank you again for your assistance.

Hello @Vyasa Kandasamy,

Thanks for sharing the details and the reasoning behind your setup.

However, based on our understanding, that particular Text Formatter – Replace Text step doesn’t seem necessary. If you directly map the required key (e.g., Sale Client Fullname) into the content where it’s needed, the action should still work exactly the same.

We recommend trying this by removing the formatter step and mapping the key directly. Since the current action is simply replacing a mapped key with content that already includes the same mapped key, the added step doesn’t offer additional value.

Please give it a try and let us know if it works as expected
