I've read through several pages of background docs, I have a cloudant database provisioned, I've successfully made a function that takes a photo with camerapi and a flow that converts that photo data to cloudant readable format, but when it turns into the cloudant database update object I get a perfect string but the database does update.
I've looked here:
I've pulled several flows from IBM to figure out how to get this to work.
The database just isn't updating.
