Digital Messaging API 422 on Conversation Update via AppFoundry Integration

Need some troubleshooting help with a validation error occurring within our AppFoundry-based digital messaging integration. The application is designed to synchronize customer profile data from an external CRM into the Genesys Cloud conversation context in real-time. While the initial handshake and message ingestion work correctly, the subsequent update to the conversation object fails intermittently.

The environment is running Genesys Cloud platform API v2. The integration utilizes multi-org OAuth for authentication. The specific failure occurs when attempting to patch the conversation object with custom attributes derived from the CRM payload.

  1. The inbound message arrives via the Facebook Messenger channel and creates a new conversation object.
  2. The AppFoundry widget triggers a webhook to our backend service, passing the conversation ID and the authenticated user profile.
  3. The backend service retrieves the CRM profile and maps the data to the Genesys Cloud custom attribute schema.
  4. A PATCH request is sent to /api/v2/conversations/messaging/{conversationId} with the updated attributes in the JSON body.
  5. The API responds with a 422 Unprocessable Entity error, citing a validation failure on the attributes field, specifically stating that the key contains invalid characters.

The attribute keys are sanitized to alphanumeric values only. The payload structure matches the schema definition exactly. The issue appears random, affecting roughly 15% of requests. Any insights into potential rate limiting side effects or schema validation quirks in the digital messaging context would be appreciated.
