Hi @Sathish_Ashokan ,

responseLimited = If(responseString.Length > 100, responseString.Substring(0, 100), responseString)

• Use an Assign activity to create a new variable that contains the limited characters.
• This line of code checks if the length of **responseString** is greater than 100 characters. If it is, it takes the substring from the start (index 0) up to the 100th character. If the length is less than 100, it keeps the original **responseString**

Thanks,
