Common Errors in Workflows – Beekeeper Admins Help Center

The error messages seen in the Workflows Execution History can be cryptic to understand. To help you figure out what they mean, we created a list of the most common errors you may encounter.

If there is another error that is not on this list, or you need further support, raise a ticket with Beekeeper Support

Error Message	What it means
`An identifier (UUID format) was expected, but instead got: [value]`	The magic variable that you selected does not deliver a matching input. Please select a suitable magic variable or raise a ticket with Beekeeper Support to troubleshoot this step.
`Cannot find a number in` `Cannot parse [value] as integer`	The input is missing a number under “value”. Please define a value that is a numerical digit (e.g. 5 instead of five).
`URL format expected, got [value]`	The link, photo, or file attachment is missing a corresponding URL. If you want to upload an image or file, please upload it first to the Document Library and link the URL to the attachment.
`Cannot find any comparator for input`	The inputs under “Rule” and “Value” in your Branching step cannot be compared. Please select comparable inputs. (e.g. date and date, number and number, text and text.)
`Invalid storage key: [value]`	Special characters (e.g. $,%,/) and emojis cannot be used in file names.
`HTTP 400 Bad Request`	The Beekeeper API identified an error. Raise a ticket with Beekeeper Support to troubleshoot this step.
NULL IS HERE	The file name has to be unique. Therefore you can add for instance the Submission ID magic variable to ensure it's unique. For example, let's assume you choose "MyFile" as the file name. In that case, you can add the Submission ID magic variable so it looks like this: "MyFile_{{Submission ID}}".
