Overview
When reviewing your workflow logs, you may encounter an error that looks like this:
This generic catch-all error indicates that a system error occurred somewhere on Kustomer's end. This typically appears after a service disruption, and in most cases, the workflow will automatically retry the process after the disruption is resolved.
