Frequently asked questions

Why isn't new data showing?

  • Check the sync interval in the connection settings

  • Make sure the connection is active (green indicator)

  • Run a forced sync

  • Check that there is actually new data in the CRM

Why are fields empty in the report?

  • Check that the field is filled in in the CRM

  • Make sure the API key has access to this field

  • Run discovery again

  • Check whether the field is excluded due to dataSensitivity (HubSpot)

Why is the sync taking a long time?

  • Large data volume — sync happens in batches

  • Rate limits exceeded — sync is paused

  • Check your internet connection stability

  • On the first sync, the entire history is loaded — this can take a while
