Make.com Claude Timeout Error: How to Extend to 300 Seconds

Is your Make.com Claude workflow suddenly timing out? Here's exactly why it breaks — and the 2-module fix that solved it. --- You built an AI automation in Make.com, tested it, it worked perfectly. Then a few months later — error. The Claude module stops, the scenario fails, and nothing you try seems to fix it. This happened to me with my AI Journal Review & Synthesis workflow. After digging through Make's documentation and support community, I found the culprit: Make's "Create a Prompt" module for Claude has a hard ~40-second timeout built in. When your prompts get longer and Claude takes more time to respond, your workflow dies. In this video, I walk you through the exact fix — replacing that single module with two: a Transform to JSON module and an HTTP module that gives you full control over the timeout window (up to 5 minutes). My last run took 182 seconds. Under the old setup, it never would have made it. --- 📺 Watch the original AI Journal Review & Synthesis video here: 👉    • The 2-Minute AI Automation That Reviews My...   --- ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 - Why your Make.com Claude workflow suddenly stopped working 1:01 - The root cause: Make's 40-second Claude timeout 2:06 - The fix: Transform to JSON module explained 3:05 - Setting up the HTTP Make a Request module 3:39 - Getting your Claude API key from platform.claude.com 4:18 - Adding your API credentials in Make 4:51 - URL, method, and header configuration 6:10 - Body content type setup 6:26 - Building the JSON body 7:07 - Mapping the messages parameter correctly 8:00 - Setting the timeout — this is the key fix 8:41 - Running the workflow and reviewing the results 9:14 - Does this fix work for other Make workflows? --- 🚀 Not sure which AI tools are actually right for your business?
