You could use two integrations. The first tries to send the document. In case that does not work, you could call the other which is meant to process the JSON instead of saving the binary file.

Sounds awkward, but depending on how frequently you plan to face this situations, it might be an option.

Error posted is just the sample one but there are some specific scenarios in which error returned has specific details which can be resolved by user in Appian UI and this action can be retried afterwards.

Thanks for suggestions!

OK. I am out of ideas.

But that JSON does not seem to very expressive. Why not just return a simple integration error.

Yes, I tried that but it is also giving me document and not the JSON to parse

Sorry, I understand ...

I do not have any ready made solution, but did you try to customise error handling? It might be possible to get access to the JSON inside the error handling expression.

Thanks for the response but Appian is not converting that JSON response as document and instead returning null value in body, so I am unable to process it.

No, that config cannot be changed based on the return value. But I assume that the API also returns a status code. Then, based on the status code, you could read the JSON from that file and process it.
