Go script failing on Agent Assist deployment rollback via REST API

We are executing a Go-based API integration routine to revert Genesys Cloud Agent Assist deployments via the /api/v2/analytics/agentassist/configs endpoint. The atomic PUT request consistently returns a 409 Conflict status due to enforced version limits, while the Schema Validation Pipeline generates a mismatch exception on the Revert Matrix. Shadow Routing Triggers remain inactive, and despite modifying the Format Verification Steps, the Callback Handler continues to exceed timeout thresholds.

{"deploymentId": "a1b2c3", "versionRevert": 2, "trafficShift": 0}

The 409 Conflict response is not a version limit. It is the platform’s optimistic concurrency control enforcing state consistency. The API requires an If-Match header carrying the current ETag, alongside a valid version integer in the request body. Your payload is injecting versionRevert and trafficShift, which are not part of the Agent Assist configuration schema. The parser discards those keys, leaves the version field at its original value, and rejects the PUT because the concurrency token no longer matches the server state.

You need to retrieve the live configuration first. Extract the current version and etag values. Construct a replacement config object that increments the version by one. Pass the ETag in the If-Match header. The Go SDK will inject the header automatically if you attach it to the request context, though you can also set it directly on the call. Here is the exact execution flow.

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/mypurecloud/platform-client-sdk-go/platformclientv2"
)

func rollbackAgentAssistConfig(client *platformclientv2.Client, configID string) error {
	agentassistAPI := platformclientv2.NewAgentassistApiWithConfig(client.Configuration)
	
	// Step 1: Grab current config to get version and etag
	getConfigResp, _, err := agentassistAPI.GetAgentassistConfigs(configID, nil)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("failed to fetch config: %w", err)
	}
	
	// Step 2: Prepare the rollback payload
	// Note: Genesys doesn't support a revert matrix. You just overwrite with the target version state.
	newConfig := platformclientv2.Agentassistconfig{
		Name: getConfigResp.Name,
		Version: platformclientv2.Int32(*getConfigResp.Version - 1), // Bump or set target version
		// Add your actual rules/parameters here
	}
	
	// Step 3: Attach If-Match header for optimistic locking
	ctx := context.Background()
	ctx = platformclientv2.WithHeaders(ctx, map[string]string{
		"If-Match": *getConfigResp.Etag,
	})
	
	// Step 4: Execute the PUT
	_, resp, err := agentassistAPI.PutAgentassistConfigWithHttpInfo(ctx, configID, newConfig)
	if err != nil || resp.StatusCode != 200 {
		return fmt.Errorf("rollback failed with status %d: %w", resp.StatusCode, err)
	}
	
	return nil
}

The version field must align with the platform’s expected sequence. If you are attempting to revert to a prior state, you cannot rely on a revert flag. You must pull the historical configuration snapshot from /api/v2/agentassist/configs/{id}/versions/{versionId}, then PUT that exact object back with the matching ETag. Shadow routing will not activate until the new version is fully published and the traffic shift is configured through the routing skill or entity settings, not the Assist endpoint. Your OAuth token also requires agentassist:config:write and agentassist:config:read scopes. Omit either scope and the SDK will silently drop the write capability.

The revert matrix error in your logs is simply the schema validator rejecting unrecognized JSON keys. Strip the invalid fields, enforce the version increment, and the 409 resolves. The platform does not perform automatic state reconciliation. You are responsible for managing the version chain manually. ETag validation is strict. If multiple processes target the same configuration simultaneously, only the first request succeeds. The remainder are rejected. Implement a retry loop with exponential backoff if you are executing this across multiple environments.

Routing updates typically require a few minutes to propagate to the edge nodes. Verify the deployment status via the analytics endpoint before concluding the rollback failed. An API success response does not guarantee the configuration has cached. You can confirm the active version by querying /api/v2/analytics/agentassist/conversations/query and filtering on the configuration version ID. The response payload indicates exactly which ruleset is processing live interactions. If the metrics do not align with your target version, the PUT did not commit. Verify the ETag string format. It is typically wrapped in double quotes within the header. The SDK may strip them automatically during serialization.

The underlying fix is replacing the invalid revert fields with a properly versioned PUT. The request will succeed once the concurrency token aligns. The shadow routing behavior is a separate configuration step within the routing application. You will need to adjust the skill group assignments manually. The response headers will indicate precisely where the request chain failed.

EmbeddableClientAppSDK dictates that the suggestion above covers the ETag requirement, but you’re also hitting a field naming trap. The API doesn’t recognize versionRevert. It expects the standard version integer to increment for writes, even rollbacks.

When I hit this building a screen pop handler for config updates, I methodically stepped through the following:

  • Tried sending the revert flag directly → Failed.
  • Tried skipping the ETag header → Failed again.
  • The only way is the full GET-PUT loop.
# Step 1: GET to retrieve current version and ETag
curl -X GET "https://mycompany.mygenesyscloud.com/api/v2/agentassist/configs/{configId}" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Step 2: PUT with If-Match and correct version
curl -X PUT "https://mycompany.mygenesyscloud.com/api/v2/agentassist/configs/{configId}" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -H "If-Match: \"<etag-from-step-1>\"" \
 -d '{
 "version": 5,
 "name": "Assist Config",
 "trafficPercent": 0,
 "deployed": false
 }'

client_app_sdk enforces strict schema validation. The version field is mandatory. If your script calculates the revert target wrong, the version check fails. Also, trafficShift isn’t a valid property name. It’s trafficPercent. The schema validator rejects the payload before it even checks concurrency if the fields are bogus.

I’ve seen this trip up desktop sync scripts too. The platform is strict about the version integer. You can’t just send a revert flag. You have to fetch the live state, bump the version, and resend. Check your header propagation logic.

Are you currently intercepting the response headers in your SDK callback to extract the ETag before constructing the PUT payload?

@gencloud/platform-sdk is the only thing that actually matters here, and once you strip out the junk fields, that ETag fix will finally hold up. Let me walk you through exactly why you’re hitting that wall. First, you need to actually grab the etag from the GET /api/v2/analytics/agentassist/configs/{configId} response before you even think about drafting your PUT body. The concurrency advice above is technically sound, but you’re going to trip over the schema validation if you aren’t handling the version field correctly. I’ve been down this exact road last month when wrestling with config rollbacks in a Node service, and the platform absolutely does not care about your custom metadata. It will silently drop unknown keys like versionRevert and trafficShift without throwing a single warning.

Here is the exact sequence you need to follow: fetch the live configuration first, extract the current version and etag, increment the version by exactly one, and then attach that original etag to the If-Match header on your outbound request. If you skip the fetch or miscalculate the version bump, the concurrency lock will reject you with a 409 every single time.

Here’s how the request shape needs to look when you finally fire it off:

const currentConfig = await platformClient.AnalyticsApi.getAgentassistConfig(configId);
const newVersion = currentConfig.version + 1;

const payload = {
 id: configId,
 version: newVersion,
 deploymentId: 'a1b2c3'
};

await platformClient.AnalyticsApi.putAgentassistConfig(configId, payload, {
 headers: { 'If-Match': currentConfig.etag }
});

You’ll also need the analytics:agentassist-config:write scope attached to your bearer token, otherwise the auth layer will intercept the request before the concurrency check even runs. Make sure your OAuth client isn’t caching stale tokens either, because the platform’s token validation is strict. The PUT will go through clean once the headers line up, but just watch the clock on those token refreshes. I’ve lost too many deployments to expired credentials right at the finish line.

The suggestion above covers the ETag requirement correctly. The 409 conflict acts like a keyboard trap in your automation. The system refuses to move focus to the next state if the previous step isn’t acknowledged properly. It’s not just a version limit, it’s state consistency.

You need to treat the version integer like a strict tab order. You cannot skip numbers. Even during a rollback, the API expects the version to increment by one. If the current config sits at version 5, your PUT request must send version 6. Sending versionRevert confuses the parser, much like an unlabeled button confuses a screen reader trying to navigate a form. The schema validation fails because it doesn’t recognize the custom key.

Does your script fetch the latest state immediately before sending the PUT request? Sometimes the version changes between the GET and the PUT if another process is running. This creates a race condition.

Strip out the extra keys and use this structure.

payload := map[string]interface{}{
 "version": 6,
 "content": yourRevertConfig,
}
req.Header.Set("If-Match", currentETag)

The parser discards unknown fields. It won’t throw an error for them, but it ignores the intent. The rollback logic must live inside the content object, not the root payload. The content object should hold the previous configuration snapshot. You can’t just send an empty object. The API needs the full state to validate the revert matrix. Also, check your Go client configuration. Sometimes the default timeout is too short for large configs. If the ETag is missing, the header check fails silently.
