Hey @rogaha,

We have created an internal ticket to look into this which we will be tracking as "GHC-206"

can you please share the workflow to reproduce this 🙏🏽 ?

Hi, I'm getting this same error on a recently created automation. I'm also using a self-hosted instance of n8n via Render. I've synced my forked version of n8n via my render UI. In testing mode, it seems everything in my workflow is working fine but I'm not able to activate it as this same error will pop-up. Checked all credentials and instances and all is working fine while in testing mode.

I'm encountering the same issue with the exact same node settings as @meJeppoy. The workflow was functioning correctly up until this morning on version 1.56.0. However, after updating to version 1.58.0, the error started appearing, even for workflows that were previously working, as shown in the attached screenshot.

can either of you please share a workflow json exported from the UI? that would really help with reproducing and fixing this.

Email_Classifier.json
Here you go.
Note: This same workflow is working fine when deployed within n8n cloud.

any updates here?

Hey @rogaha,

I have looked at the internal ticket and it looks like it may be fixed in 1.58.1 can you try updating?

Hey @rogaha,
