Data action returns a 500 error

Note: This article applies to the Google data actions integration when used with Google Cloud Functions.

A data action returns a 500 error. 

  • A call to a Google Cloud Function returned a non-JSON response.
    • Genesys Cloud data actions only support JSON responses. Change the Google Cloud Function to return JSON.
