Hello everyone! 

It would be great if we could store the API errors that we receive when we trigger them via Data Action.

From the flows we can only identify if there was success, failure or timeout, and through reports we can see the type of error (4xxx, 5xxx, for example), but without the exact description of the errors.

Any idea already open or a solution for this scenario? If the answer is no, I will open an idea.

Thank you!

Hi Edgar,

Unfortunately, today Architect/Data Actions do not expose the full downstream API error body natively inside the flow execution context.

As you mentioned, from the flow side you typically only get:

• success/failure/timeout
• status category
• limited error information

The detailed response body from the external API is generally not persisted or exposed directly for reporting/troubleshooting purposes.

Because of this, in production environments many teams end up implementing an intermediate middleware layer instead of calling the target API directly from the Data Action.

That middleware can:

• log the full request/response
• persist correlation IDs
• capture detailed errors
• centralize observability
• sanitize sensitive data
• implement retries/fallbacks

This becomes especially important for:

• troubleshooting intermittent failures
• auditability
• vendor API debugging
• SLA monitoring

Another common approach is returning normalized/custom error payloads from the middleware back into Architect so the flow can make more intelligent routing decisions instead of relying only on generic failure categories.

I do think this would be a valuable enhancement request for native Data Actions observability because today the troubleshooting visibility is fairly limited when compared to real integration monitoring platforms.

Hi, 
You can use "common module flow" to call your data actions, when "common module flow" is involved it expose some variables that are not accesible in inbound/outbound flows:

Then use variables and set it as participant data. 

But, it would be nice if data action performance view, could have a detailed equivalente, so one could get detailed error exposed and conversation id. In that way troubleshooting will be a lot more easier.

If you open an idea, please share it to vote for it.
