How to use the Text Shortener.
List the facts that must survive before setting a length limit. If the limit cannot fit them, request a warning rather than silently losing a condition.
Make the workflow fit your task.
List the required facts and the actual length limit. Shorten structure and repeated wording first, then count the proposed result using the destination's convention before comparing its conditions with the source.
- What you provide
- Draft and word or character limit.
- What you get

Decisions and troubleshooting.
What if the limit cannot fit every required fact?
Choose a different format or split the message. Identify the constraint instead of silently dropping an eligibility rule or deadline.
Why did shortening change the offer?
Reintroduce the missing qualifier and cut decorative wording elsewhere. Amounts, restrictions and timing are part of the offer itself.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
