I’m trying to create a workflow that loops through a list in SharePoint Online using a REST web service call. However, I’m having some trouble trying to pass the authentication token as described in the following article.

Basically, the workflow stops right at the “Call web service” action, and the only error it tells me is the following.
Invalid text value.
A text field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again
Has anyone had success with web service calls to SharePoint Online?
Of course, as soon as I post the question, I figure out the problem.
It wasn’t the web service call, but what I was doing with the data being returned. It seems that if you try to dump the dictionary data returned from the web service call to the workflow log, and that data is greater than 256 characters, you will get an “Invalid text error” message.
Thanks, this helped make my after-hours troubleshooting shorter.
Excellent. Thank you for shortening my after-hours troubleshooting.
Oh yeah, it was my salvation, I was experiencing the same issue with a SharePoint Designer 2013 flow and I did’n understand the reason, some reserach and I found your post and now my issue was resolved. thanks!!!
I was struggling for 2 days, to finally read your comment and figure out that I was logging a too much long text to my History list. You made my day, thanks.
