XML Length in Workflow Designer

asked on June 11

We are building a Workflow where we need to send a lot of data in the body, using XML, however if we paste the XML into the body of the request, it cuts off some of our data. (We know the XML is Valid as this has come from postman)

When reading the XML Payload in the Track Tokens, we have seen "216 values could not be displayed." has all of it sent?

Is there a limit on the length/character limit that can be sent through the XML Body in Workflow Designer?

Can we build the XML body using Tokens, and then place the tokens eg, %(Part1), %(Part2), %(Part3) in the body to contain the full XML Body when sending?

Or have we reached the fundamental limit of the activity?
Does this mean we will now need to use SDK to send the XML now?

Token values are truncated to 3800 characters for tracking. The runtime has access to the full value.

Thank you for your reply Miruna,

Can i just confirm, that if we compile the XML this can be above the 3,800 character limit.

However in You cannot paste 8,500 characters of XML to the Content Body, this cuts off at the character limit of 7,000 in the XML Body

So for testing purposes, this is not ideal that the body is limited when an XML will more than likely contain more than 7,000 characters.

So to Confirm the use of tokens, to build the body of an XML can be above the 7,000 limit?

In Workflow Designer UI, the input textbox control is limited to a maximum of 7,000 characters.

For testing purposes, there is currently no straightforward way to paste a string longer than 7,000 characters into the input textbox. As a temporary workaround, you can split the long string into two or more segments, assign them to separate tokens, paste each part individually, and then run the test.

During runtime, as Miruna mentioned, there is no length limitation set on token values. Therefore, the XML body can exceed 7,000 characters.
