Hey there, this means the parse JSON module was expecting a JSON file it did not receive. Check your input. ---

The issue seems to be that the Parse JSON module is not getting a valid value in the required json field. I’ll double-check the mapping from the previous module and make sure it passes a proper JSON string, not an empty value or plain text ---

Welcome to the Make community! You **cannot individually run a single module** if you don’t have example input data values for each required field, which you must input into the dialog box when you manually run a single module. This is because when you only run a specific module, the mapped variables in the module’s fields are null (do not contain any value), as the previous modules do not run and produce any output values. Does this make sense? Instead, try **running the full scenario** by clicking the “ **Run Once** ” button: ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/8/c/8ca996485929bd9b3802e95105ca63714eeea7a0.png) For more information, see these duplicate questions previously asked and answered by other community members: - [Missing Values While Processing Google Forms Data](https://community.make.com/t/missing-values-while-processing-google-forms-data/44843) - [Not able to use webhook data](https://community.make.com/t/not-able-to-use-webhook-data/4894) - [Make not recognizing value of a variable](https://community.make.com/t/make-not-recognizing-value-of-a-variable/71424) Hope this helps!

Hi @Hariom_Sharan, Could you share a screenshot of the Parse JSON module configuration and the input/output bundles from the module immediately before it? The error indicates that the required **JSON** field is empty or not being mapped correctly. While invalid JSON syntax is possible, this specific error more commonly occurs when no value is being passed to the Parse JSON module at all. Best Regards, @Mohamed_Jahar ---

You have a bunch of ifempy() functions with too many arguments inside. Maybe that’s breaking them causing the LLM to return no output. Also, most LLM modules have an option to return a JSON output under advanced settings, you shouldn’t need a parse JSON module here. ---
