Agent Scripting API 500 Error on WFM Schedule Publish

I cannot figure out why the /v2/wfm/schedules/{id}/publish endpoint returns a 500 Internal Server Error when attempting to apply dynamic agent scripting rules tied to shift swaps. The schedule publishes fine without the scripting payload, but adding the rule triggers the crash. Any insights on payload size limits or known bugs?

You need to decouple the schedule publishing action from the dynamic scripting rule application. The 500 error occurs because the /v2/wfm/schedules/{id}/publish endpoint does not natively support embedded scripting payloads in its request body structure for BYOC contexts. Attempting to merge these operations forces the API to process conflicting schema validations, resulting in the internal server error.

I cannot figure out why the /v2/wfm/schedules/{id}/publish endpoint returns a 500 Internal Server Error when attempting to apply dynamic agent scripting rules tied to shift swaps.

From an AppFoundry integration perspective, the correct workflow involves two distinct API calls. First, publish the schedule using a standard POST request with only the schedule metadata. This ensures the WFM engine validates the shift data without interference from scripting logic. Once the schedule is successfully published and returns a 200 OK status, trigger a separate PATCH or POST request to the Agent Scripting API to attach the dynamic rules. This separation prevents payload size issues and avoids the schema mismatch that causes the crash.

Here is the recommended sequence:

// Step 1: Publish Schedule (No Scripting Payload)
POST /api/v2/wfm/schedules/{scheduleId}/publish
Content-Type: application/json

{
 "scheduleId": "your-schedule-id",
 "publishType": "PUBLISH"
}

// Step 2: Apply Scripting Rules (After Step 1 Success)
POST /api/v2/flexible-crm/agent-scripting/rules
Content-Type: application/json

{
 "name": "Shift Swap Rule",
 "triggers": [
 {
 "type": "SHIFT_SWAP_DETECTED"
 }
 ],
 "actions": [
 {
 "type": "SHOW_SCRIPT",
 "scriptId": "your-script-id"
 }
 ]
}

This approach aligns with Genesys Cloud’s recommended practices for multi-org OAuth integrations and ensures stability during bulk operations. Always verify the schedule publication status before proceeding to scripting updates to maintain data integrity.
