As I said your function logic has problems even before adding `context.async`.  
Make it run locally on your machine as a node script, then when it’s working use it in the plugin.  
You can find plenty of examples in the forum about how to use `context.async`.  
See [here](http://forum.bubble.io/t/need-help-with-async-server-side-plugin/242868/4) for a recent example.
