This document defines how the integration logs sync activity and tracks errors in the integration sync. If you are the data manager responsible for ensuring that data is transferred without issues and available in a timely fashion, this topic is of particular importance.

Find Sync Errors

Error reporting and sync log entries are found in the Salesforce sync settings page.

Select the Salesforce menu on the left.
Select the Errors tab for more information.

Sync Error Notification

We have included a field for identifying who needs to be notified in case a failure occurs during a sync job. Fill in Who Should We Notify by Email When Sync Errors Occur on the Errors tab.

Viewing Error Messages in Engage

Errors may be specific to the sync configuration, data validation issues, or permission problems. Error messages are grouped by type and detail. This means that if you have an error for 100 supporter records, you will see only one error row for that error type. Click on any error record to see more detail. Depending on the record type, links to affected records will be provided, for example, a supporter record, contact record, donation record, etc.

Retry Sync

For any error which presents Retry Sync button as an option in the pop-up window (as above, blue button), all records included in the error will be flagged for resync and will remove the error entry. Then on the next scheduled sync (or if manually triggered), the sync will attempt to synchronize. If the error recurs, the integration will generate a new instance of the error.

Create Group

If you would like to further research supporters that generated errors, this button (as above, orange button) will create a static Group in Engage and add those supporters to that Group.

Resend Unique Supporter Data

Sometimes, unless there's an error, new supporters haven't yet been pushed through the sync. If they're not awaiting resolution in the Salsa Engage New Supporter queue, it may become necessary to attempt to resend Engage data to Salesforce. You can queue up a specific supporter's data to fully resend on the next sync by using the Resend to Salesforce button on the Salesforce tab of a specific supporter.

Run a Manual Sync

On the Salesforce Account tab, select the Run Manual Sync button to attempt to sync data at the next interval defined just above the button.

Resend Data

If data needs to be resent from Engage or from Salesforce, use the options on the Resend Data tab. For example, if you set up a new field mapping between Engage supporters and Salesforce contacts, you can use this option to selectively re-sync supporters and contacts without resyncing all other data. Selected Engage data are added to a Salesforce sync job along with any other pending changes to other Engage records.

Depending on what's selected, this process may take some time and may use a high number of Salesforce API calls. Once you've chosen what data to resend, click the Resend Data Between Engage and Salesforce button to queue the sync job.

You can only queue one Resend Data sync job at a time. If you want to submit additional sync jobs, you must wait until any pending job completes. An error message will display to remind you.
