HTTP 500 · application/problem+json · Something went wrong on our side.

What causes it

  • Something failed on BioFlow's side — the request may or may not have taken effect.

How to fix it

  • Retry safely: on consequential POSTs, reuse the SAME Idempotency-Key so the retry can't double-apply.
  • If it persists, contact [email protected] and quote the request_id from the response.
