Hi @sonalJain,

The error you are seeing is likely caused by the environment of your Lambda function not including the latest version of the AWS-SDK. Have a look at this documentation to identify which version is part of your environment. It’s recommended to leverage Lambda layers to manage the AWS-SDK version within Lambda functions.

Yes @Thomas, I have tried with the same and it is working. Thank you for the response.
Now the embed URL is generated but i am getting “Q&A experience cannot be loaded. Please contact your administrators.”. Attaching the screenshot for reference.

There could be different reasons for this behavior - let’s start with a few simple points:
Are you on a pricing model that gives access to the Q&A capability?
Is that specific user on a pricing model that gives access to the Q&A capability?
Do you have a topic created within your account and is that topic shared with this user?

Hi @Thomas, thank you for the response. The issue is resolved that error was coming due to topic access issue.
Thank you for the help.
