WHAT ERROR ALERTING IS:

If you have a Salesforce or Jira integration with GUIDEcx there are errors that may pop up when there are authentication or other types of issues. They're all listed below.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that if you make updates in Salesforce or Jira then those updates generally DO NOT reflect in GUIDEcx with our managed integration. To avoid errors from popping up make sure you drive with GUIDEcx!

Now GUIDEcx will alert you when something isn't right and you can know what action to take to ensure that the integration is set up properly.

HOW DOES ERROR ALERTING FUNCTION:

  • When you log into the app you will see the list of your projects which will be highlighted red if there is an error

  • When you click into the project, all errors will populate at the top of said project in groups of 5

  • Once you have read the error you can click the β€œx” to hide the error until you reload the page and if there are any additional errors they will appear in place of the previous error

Error Alerting Example

If there is something wrong with your Salesforce OR Jira integration you'll see red banner(s) within projects that have issues. It'll look like picture above.


HOW TO FIX THE ERRORS

Now that GUIDEcx has alerted you that there is an error, you'll need to fix it! Check out the list of common errors for Salesforce and Jira integrations and how to fix them.

LIST OF SALESFORCE ERRORS & SOLUTIONS:

ERROR

WHAT THIS MEANS

SOLUTION

Cannot Insert Update Activate Entity

Two Salesforce objects are trying to be create, updated, or deleted simultaneously.

Dismiss the error and make a new update on a GUIDEcx task. This will force a resync!

Entity Is Deleted

This happens when GUIDEcx pushes an update to a deleted Salesforce object.

If an object is deleted in Salesforce, then GUIDEcx can't update that missing object. Any updates made in Salesforce do not reflect in GUIDEcx with our managed integration, so make sure you drive in GuideCX to ensure uniformity.

Not Found

The Salesforce object cannot be found because the object isn't created or it's been deleted.

Please make all updates FROM GUIDEcx so those updates can flow into Salesforce with our managed integration.

Unauthorized

Salesforce cannot authorize/verify your credentials

Contact your Salesforce Admin.

Invalid Field For Insert Update

Failed attempt to update parent field as a part of an upsert (update + insert)

Contact your Salesforce Admin to check if there are specific read-only fields that GUIDEcx is trying to push updates to.

Storage Limit Exceeded

Your Salesforce instance has a limited amount of data and this will appear when data storage allocation has been exceeded.

Contact your Salesforce Admin to upgrade storage limits.

Authentication Error

This occurs during integration setup and the Salesforce Admin denies access to the managed integration.

Contact your Salesforce Admin to allow the integration

Salesforce Error

This is the error you'll see if it doesn't match any of the specific errors above.

Contact your Salesforce Admin
