  • Hi! I tried to setup the Smart Service, however in the PM it always fails with the error - 

    An error occurred while creating the note. (APNX-1-4101-005)
    In the content.err, analytics.err, channels.err I am getting a lot of 'bad message header' messages which I am assuming belong to this.

    How can I make this work? I am passing the following arguments into the smart service:

    - Body
    - Document name (="message")
    - From
    - Max Subject Length (unchanged - 65)
    - Save Into
    - Sent Date (set to now())
    - Subject
    - To
    - Avoid Txt Alternative (tried both true and false)
    In the Outputs, I am saving the AC!emlFile into a Document process variable.
    Assignment is set to Automated activity - Run as whoever started the process.
