We are running the latest version of the Discourse and the automation plugin. Any thoughts how this can be resolved? Thanks for the help!

I don’t know if it’s related, but

So you might try removing the plugin from your app.yml.

3

Hmm we already blanked out the repo so this is not related to the old plugin.

We did play with this trigger a bit recently, maybe @Osama has some ideas.

Any more info in your logs @Festinger, what is the message?

Can you create a new automation rule from scratch for same action, does that work around the issue?

4

Can you please share the error message? It should be displayed right before the stack trace that you’ve shared.

Thank you all for the feedback.

Upon checking the automation rules, I noticed that the username assigned to a rule has been changed, and we forgot to update the username.

As we assigned the right username now, the errors are gone and the automation rules are working again.
