Why am I encountering different errors for various app requests using both SDK and direct API calls in Pipedream?

I’m getting different errors for different app requests. I tried both SDK and direct API calls, same errors.

All Requests Called using: (TS SDK)

export const pipedreamClient = createBackendClient({
  environment: (NEXT_PUBLIC_ENV) as ProjectEnvironment,
  projectId: PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID as string,
  credentials: {
    clientId: PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID as string,
    clientSecret: PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET as string,
  },
});

const resp = await pipedreamClient.runAction({
        externalUserId: userSession.publicId,
        actionId: actionId,
        configuredProps
      });

If I run:

const account = await pipedreamClient.getAccountById(
       accountId, 
        { include_credentials: true }
    );

It works fine and shows everything as healthy

3

Can you try running both in the SDK playground and comparing the payloads against yours?

4

The structure of the request seems correct, I also tried switching the externalUserId and the authProvisionId from the example with my implementation and I still got the same error. The example you provided is all frontend, the backend is only been used to generate the temporal token.

configuredProps {
“externalUserId”: “1758491399752-f4aad898-d03e-40ad-aa31-df34c14b970d”,
“actionId”: “google_docs-create-document”,
“configuredProps”: {
“title”: “New Document”,
“googleDocs”: {
“authProvisionId”: “apn_nphYAWb”
}
}
}

//PUBLIC
{
externalUserId: “demo-ced65ca4-79ac-4c01-9a4e-40c451424f41”,
actionId: “google_docs-create-document”,
configuredProps: {
googleDocs: {
authProvisionId: “apn_9whX6xA”
},
title: “New document”
}
}

5

Are you nesting configuredProps within configuredProps? A little confused about the structure of your payload?

6

I’m calling like this:
const resp = await pipedreamClient.runAction({
“externalUserId”: “1758491399752-f4aad898-d03e-40ad-aa31-df34c14b970d”,
“actionId”: “google_docs-create-document”,
“configuredProps”: {
“title”: “New Document”,
“googleDocs”: {
“authProvisionId”: “apn_nphYAWb”
}
}
}
);
The previous was just some text from the logs

7

I upgraded to “@pipedream/connect-react”: “^1.6.0”, still no luck

8

again the client works because I’m able to run successfully:
const account = await pipedreamClient.getAccountById(
accountId,
{ include_credentials: true }
);

9

And is the account healthy? (account.healthy === true && account.dead === false)

10

yeap. I’ll attach the response in a min

I do see that external_id is different than what you’re passing in runAction though, right?

13

I see, I’m checking this. Thank you I didn’t notice it before. I’ll let you know if this solves the issue

14

that solved the issue, thank you DannY!

Great, we should figure out how to make the debugging a little easier there.
