Todoist failing to create new task

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

When using the Todoist connection in a flow to create a new task I get a "bad request" error:

 

{
  "error_tag""INVALID_ARGUMENT_VALUE",
  "error_code"20,
  "http_code"400,
  "error_extra": {
    "expected""list",
    "event_id"null,
    "argument""commands",
    "retry_after"2
  },
  "error""Invalid argument value"
}
 
I have tried reconnecting Todoist, but it doesn't help. Any idea how I could fix it?

    Hi @Juanv 

     

    I believe that the error is die to the title of the task. Note that the title supports string for upto a particular number of characters only. 

     

    Can you reduce the characters and provide a smaller title and try again? 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Used Bitly to shorten the link in the title and that solved it. It was indeed an issue with the title length!

     

    Thank you so much!!!
