ChatGPT error: Required field "User Message" (user_message) is missing

Symptoms

When using the ChatGPT Conversation action, you see the error message, "Required field "User Message" (user_message) is missing". You will see this error in Zap history after your Zap runs. 

Causes

This happens when a mapped field in the User Message field does not contain a value.

How to fix it

To fix the issue:

  1. Ensure data is always sent to the currently mapped field, or replace the mapped field with one that consistently provides a value.
  2. If you cannot change the current mapped field, you can either:
    • Set a default value as a fallback whenever your mapped field does not send data.
    • Add conditional logic using a filter or branching logic with paths to your Zap. This will allow you to set what the Zap should do if your mapped value contains no value.
