globalPrompt<=5000 characters
# support

Hi VAPI Team, we would love to use your service but all our prompts are larger than 5000 characters. Is there any way, to create a workflow with prompts that are larger than 5000 characters? Our largest agent has 9313 characters. So, 10k character limit would be fine for us. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1384532933704028250/1384532934018597025/Screenshot_from_2025-06-17_15-54-50.png?ex=6852c646&is=685174c6&hm=e55a60a3b061080fb04f9817f7bc621c5955755bd2797c14662ee1c45b6773b5&

If you split the prompt into multiple conversation nodes, you will be able to achieve <=5000 characters per node. Here is the documentation -->

I know that. The problem is we already deployed a workflow at UltraVox and ElevenLabs. Both do not have a limit. That would mean we have to redesign all our prompts, which is a significant overhead for us.

Can you provide some more information about your usecase? So, that I can push it to the team to increase the length for it.

Thank you Sahil, we are implementing a sales AI agent. Our prompts get bigger because we usually add some short example conversations (few-shot), which significantly improves agent behavior. This is necessary to make sure that the agent reacts correctly for different edge cases. For this reason, it also extremely hard to shorten these prompts. Another reason is that we write all our prompts in German and the German language is known for its long words especially in comparison to English.

Thank you for providing this information. We will reach out to the team and get back to you shortly

Is there any updates on this?

Hey Felix.Neutatz, I wanted to let you know that we're managing a high volume of support requests at the moment, so our response time might be a bit slower than usual. I truly appreciate your understanding and will get back to you as soon as possible!  Thanks again for your patience!
Hey Felix.Neutatz, I sincerely apologize for the delay in our responses this week. We experimented with some process adjustments that didn’t work as intended, and unfortunately, this caused some disruptions. That’s entirely my responsibility. Just a quick note—our team is unavailable on weekends. However, if something urgent or critical comes up, feel free to reach out to me directly, and I’ll assist you. The support issues will be resolved in the coming weeks, and starting Monday, you can expect more consistent and improved support. Thank you so much for your patience and for continuing to stick with us!
Sorry for the delayed response. I wanted to confirm with you if you would like the global prompt to be increased to 10k character limit or just all conversation nodes?
