Saving a Place Action Link in GBP Galactic Overview previously failed with a timeout error that prevented the link from being stored. This issue is resolved — if you still encounter the error, follow the steps below.
⚠️ What the Timeout Error Looks Like
When you enter a URL in the Place Action Links modal on the GBP Galactic Overview page and click Save, an error modal appears and the link is not saved. The underlying cause is an HTTP 524 status — a Cloudflare gateway timeout indicating the save API did not respond before the connection expired.
✅ Fix Status: Issue Resolved
The Search Atlas engineering team identified and resolved the root cause of this 524 timeout on the Place Action Links save endpoint. The fix is deployed — the save action now completes successfully for the vast majority of customers.
🛠️ Steps to Try If the Error Still Appears
If you still see a save failure when adding or editing a Place Action Link, follow these steps in order:
- Dismiss the error modal.
- Wait approximately 30 seconds, then do a hard refresh of the GBP Galactic Overview page (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac).
- Re-open the Place Action Links modal, re-enter your URL, and click Save.
- If the error appears again after two retries, contact Search Atlas support and include a screenshot of the error modal along with the URL you are trying to save.
Once the save completes without error, your Place Action Link is stored and the modal will close successfully.
🌀 This timeout error is resolved for most customers — if it persists on your account, a hard page refresh and retry typically clears it, or contact Search Atlas support for direct investigation.
