Scanning Issues

Scan not finding expected duplicates

Possible Causes
  • No matching fields configured for this object type
  • Match thresholds are set too high
  • Fields used for matching have different values than expected
Solutions
  • Configure matching fields in Settings → Matching Rules. Blocking is automatic based on these fields.
  • Lower the match threshold temporarily to see if pairs are being filtered out.
  • Check the field values on both records—minor differences like extra spaces can affect matching.
  • If using AI matching, ensure AI fields are configured correctly.

Scan is very slow

Possible Causes
  • Large number of records with many potential matches
  • AI matching processing many embeddings
  • Database connection issues
Solutions
  • Blocking is automatic based on your matching fields. Ensure you have appropriate fields configured.
  • For AI matching, the first scan generates embeddings which takes time. Subsequent scans use cached embeddings.
  • Try running a smaller scan (single object) to isolate the issue.
  • Check Salesforce API limits in Setup → Company Information.

Scan stuck in 'Queued' status

Possible Causes
  • Another scan is currently running
  • Worker process issue
Solutions
  • Only one background scan runs per organization at a time. Wait for the current scan to complete.
  • Check if another scan is showing as 'Processing' in the scan history.
  • If no other scan is running, try refreshing the page or starting a new scan.
  • Contact support if the issue persists for more than 30 minutes.

Merge Issues

Merge failed with error

Possible Causes
  • Insufficient Salesforce permissions
  • Record locked by another user or process
  • Validation rule preventing update
Solutions
  • Ensure your Salesforce user has Modify and Delete permissions on the object type.
  • Wait a few minutes and try again—the record may be temporarily locked.
  • Check Salesforce validation rules that may be blocking the update.
  • Review the error message for specific field or permission issues.

Merged record missing data

Possible Causes
  • Field value was selected from wrong record
  • Field not included in merge preview
Solutions
  • Always review the merge preview carefully before confirming.
  • For bulk merges, check the survivor selection rule in settings.
  • If data was lost, check the Salesforce Recycle Bin—deleted records can be restored within 15 days.

Connection Issues

Salesforce connection error

Possible Causes
  • OAuth token expired
  • Salesforce API limits exceeded
  • Network connectivity issues
Solutions
  • Re-authenticate by going to Settings → Salesforce Connection and clicking 'Reconnect'.
  • Check your Salesforce API usage in Setup → Company Information.
  • Wait 24 hours if API limits are exceeded—limits reset daily.
  • Check if Salesforce is experiencing issues at status.salesforce.com.

Records not syncing from Salesforce

Possible Causes
  • User doesn't have access to all records
  • Filter criteria excluding records
  • Sharing rules restricting visibility
Solutions
  • True Record can only see records the connected user has access to in Salesforce.
  • Check if sharing rules or role hierarchy is limiting record visibility.
  • Consider using an integration user with 'View All Data' permission.

Credit Issues

AI Credits depleted unexpectedly

Possible Causes
  • Large scan with many new records
  • Embedding regeneration due to field changes
  • Multiple scans in quick succession
Solutions
  • Check credit usage history in Settings → Add-ons.
  • New records require embedding generation which uses credits.
  • Changing AI fields triggers re-embedding—avoid frequent field changes.
  • Purchase additional credits if needed.

Verification credits not working

Possible Causes
  • Wrong credit type
  • Zero balance for that verification type
Solutions
  • Each verification type (email, phone, address) has its own credit pool.
  • Check the specific credit balance in Settings → Add-ons.
  • Purchase the correct credit type.
