Yeah the documentation is always for the latest version of Appian. If you want to view documentation for a certain version, you can always change the version dropdown at the top.

We generally don't include "x feature was added in y version" in the documentation because it would quickly become difficult to manage with a new release every quarter 🙂

I never found a complete solution to this, but it looks like using v1 (i.e. https://${{ secrets.APPIAN_DOMAIN }}/suite/deployment-management/v1/deployments) of the API resolves this error. It's unclear why v2 does not work.

The API v2 was not introduced until 23.3. The current version of my Appian Cloud is 23.2. A point that should be made very clear in the documentation.

I turned it on, but it's still returning the same error. I'll add my API request below. Perhaps, there is an issue there.

curl --location --request \
POST 'https://${{ secrets.APPIAN_DOMAIN }}/suite/deployment-management/v2/deployments' \
--header 'Appian-API-Key: ${{ secrets.APPIAN_API_KEY }}' \
--header 'Action-Type: import' \
--form json='{
    "name": "Test Automation - Import Package",
    "packageFileName": "Test.zip" 
}' \
--form packageFileName=@'/packages/Test.zip'

Have you enabled external deployments in the Admin Console? That sounds like the likely culprit here: docs.appian.com/.../Appian_Administration_Console.html
