I was having the same problem, what I noticed is the cloud function code on the link is different from the code on Github.

The code on link make it seems there is event.data.data, which is false. To fix I used the code from the link but without pubsubMessage constant and passed event.data directly to Buffer.from() like the code on github (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/nodejs-docs-samples/blob/master/functions/scheduleinstance/index.js#L36).

Hope it helps :)

👋 @zhukovnv84 Thanks for raising the issue. Looks like our documentation got updated to use event.data and should be correct.
