DataError in Make.com
Updated 2026-08-01
DataError usually means the data left Make's module validation and was rejected by the third-party side — or a function received the wrong type. It is related to BundleValidationError but often appears one step later in the chain.
How to read it
BundleValidationError is Make checking the bundle before the module runs. DataError often means the remote API (or a Make function) rejected the payload: wrong type, too long, invalid enum, duplicate where uniqueness is required.
The module name and the error body matter more than the word "DataError" alone. A Twitter/X length limit and a bad date in parseDate are both in this family and need different fixes.
What to try
Inspect the bundle that entered the failing module. Compare types and required fields to the app's module settings.
If only some items fail, add a filter or fix empty upstream fields rather than disabling the whole scenario.
Paste the full error into the free diagnosis when the message names a parameter or HTTP detail — Make's docs are strongest on the named platform errors.
Paste the error for a sourced diagnosis
If you still have the execution log, use the free tool — Make's docs only, every claim linked, or an honest refusal when coverage is missing.
Example you can try: DataError on the Google Sheets module. The scenario fails when a cell value is empty or the wrong type.

FAQ
Is DataError always my mapping?
Often, but not always. The remote app can change validation rules. Still start with the failing bundle before assuming an outage.
