Troubleshooting Unsuccessful Test Runs in Your Picsart + Make Scenarios
Running a test scenario in Make is a key step before going live. If your test run fails, it usually means something in your setup needs to be reviewed. Here’s how to identify and fix the most common issues so you can confidently move forward.
1. Test Data Issues
Test runs can fail if the sample data used is incomplete or invalid.
What to do:
Make sure the data you're testing with mirrors what you’ll use in real conditions. If you're passing image URLs, confirm that they are valid, publicly accessible, and point to actual image files. Avoid using placeholder or blank data during test runs.
2. Incorrect Data Mapping
If the fields aren’t mapped correctly, your module may not receive the right data to process.
What to do:
Review how your fields are mapped. Use the Data Inspector in Make to preview the values being passed to the Picsart module. Ensure required fields like image URLs, dimensions, or actions are filled with valid inputs. Fix any mismatches or missing data.
3. Timing or Dependencies
Sometimes actions in your scenario rely on timing or the output of earlier steps.
What to do:
Check whether previous modules are returning the necessary data before your Picsart action runs. If there's a delay (e.g., from an upload or external API call), try adding a sleep or delay module to give the data time to load.
4. Misconfigured Module Settings
Wrong or missing settings in your Picsart module can prevent test runs from completing.
What to do:
Open the module and confirm that all required fields are configured properly. For example, ensure you’ve selected the correct Picsart feature (like Remove Background or Resize) and provided all the expected inputs.
5. Connectivity or Permission Problems
You may not have the right access to run actions in Picsart, or the connection may have expired.
What to do:
Head to the Connections section in Make. Check that your Picsart connection is still active and authorized. If needed, reconnect and grant all requested permissions.
6. Error Messages
When a test fails, Make usually returns an error message that helps identify the issue.
What to do:
Go to the scenario's Execution History and look at the failed test. Click into the module that failed to view the full error message. These often point to something specific—like an invalid input or a missing field.
7. Compatibility or System Updates
If your setup worked before but now fails, recent updates might be the cause.
What to do:
Check if there have been any changes to the Picsart API or Make module. Review the documentation to ensure your scenario still aligns with the latest requirements.
Final Tip: Always Test with Real Data
Using realistic inputs during testing helps avoid surprises. Once your scenario runs successfully with actual data, you're ready to activate it with confidence.
