Watson Assistant action to call IBM Cloud Function fails with Direct CloudFunctions calls are not supported on this platform

We are trying to implement cloud functions in Watson conversation but am receiving message 'Direct CloudFunctions calls are not supported on this platform'. When I googled for the error, I see that the issue could be because the region for WA and the cloud functions are different or not in US South/Germany. But I can confirm that both my WA and cloud functions are in US South.

I was trying in the 'Try out' panel. Below is the mock json editor content for my dialog node.

{
  "context": {
    "my_credentials": {
      "user": "jgjg",
      "password": "khk"
    }
  },
  "output": {
    "text": {
      "values": [
        "response text"
      ]
    }
  },
  "actions": [
    {
      "name": "/<myIBMCloudOrganizationID>_<myIBMCloudSpace>/get-http-resource/weather", 
      "type": "server",
      "parameters": {
        "location": "Austin"
      },
      "credentials": "$my_credentials",
      "result_variable": "$my_result"
    }
  ]
}

Can you pls advise me on what am I doing wrong. Thanks.

I was going through the same issue. Cloud functions are only available in some regions. If your app is hosted in sydney or somewhere you cannot use that service there. Create a new app and set the location to london

Are you sure your user and password are set correctly?

Your user should consist of LETTERS and NUMBERS and some HYPHENS. like so : ...a-32d7-7d... Your password should be just a string ...gafhWhu6alirEVpD...

Both are found in your api key on your IbmCloudFunctions page : https://console.bluemix.net/openwhisk/learn/api-key

Username is before the : of the api key and

Password after the : of the api key

If you already know this then i'm afraid i dont know how to help you.

Best
