This page provides frequently asked questions and troubleshooting information for common issues related to Customer Data Platform (CDP).
I added a product to my cart X weeks ago but did not buy it. Why does it appear in my current cart?
I added something to my cart and did not buy it. Why cannot I see it in the abandoned cart email?
The abandoned cart model includes all the products added to a customer’s cart after the most recent transaction.
Abandoned cart campaigns are built using the following criteria:
“INCLUDE (Abandoned a cart <in the timeframe you need>); EXCLUDE (Placed a transaction <in the same timeframe> OR Performed an event <checkout> <in the same timeframe>)”.
You can use these criteria to avoid missing use cases where a master customer has N child contacts and abandoned a product in one child contact. However, another child contact bought it later, either online or offline.
Verify that you are using a valid public IP address for CDP.
This issue occurs due to the following reasons:
Credentials are incorrect.
External service is down or unreachable (S3 or SFTP).
Workaround:
Verify the following details and update the credentials accordingly:
S3: Bucket Name, Access Key, and Secret Key
SFTP: Host, Port, and Username/Password or SSH Key
Ensure that the SFTP server is operational and reachable. You can verify the S3 status in AWS Status.
This issue occurs if the connector is not published.
Workaround:
Publish the connector. You can verify the status of the connector
on the Input Connectors page. If the status is Unpublished
,
click the corresponding connector and publish it.
This issue occurs when the backend service is down.
Workaround:
Check the status of the services and retry after some time, or contact Acquia Support.
This issue occurs due to the following reasons:
The number of instances exceeded the maximum limit.
Provisioning is disabled.
Workaround:
Delete the existing instances or increase the maximum limit for the service. To get this done, create a Support ticket.
Enable the provisioning for the service. To get this done, create a Support ticket.
A360
)¶This issue occurs when the A360
role name is not present.
Workaround:
Add the correct role name with the required permissions. To get this done, create a Support ticket.
This issue occurs when the bearer token expires.
Workaround:
Generate a new bearer token by using the credentials and use it with host API.
This issue occurs when the URL has a missing search term.
Workaround:
Append ?searchTerm=
in the host API URL.
Tracker
)¶This issue occurs when the Tracker
role name is not present.
Workaround:
Add the correct role name with the required permissions. To get this done, create a Support ticket.
This issue occurs when incorrect or incomplete payload data is sent to the Tracker API.
Workaround:
Send the payload data with the correct format and all the mandatory fields. For example,
{
"transactionitems": [],
"transactions": [],
"customers": [],
"events": []
}
This issue occurs when you use invalid AWS credentials for provisioning.
Workaround:
Check with your AM to verify and update the correct AWS credentials in Ansible for the respective environment.
This issue occurs due to the following reasons:
The SFTP server cannot be reached. This might be due to temporary issues, such as network problems or server restart.
Credentials might have changed but the application does not have access to the latest credentials.
Workaround:
Use the Retry Provision button after some time. If the issue persists, check the logs.
For credential-related issues, redeploy the service with correct credentials.
This issue occurs due to the following reasons:
Lack of whitelisted IP: If you get a timeout issue.
invalid credentials: You did not copy the credentials correctly or pasted it in an editor that altered their characters.
Workaround:
To whitelist an IP, you must evaluate the IP range in your network that must be allowed to contact the SFTP server. After knowing the exact range of IPs, you can whitelist them by using the Allow-List Source IP Addresses option. This allows copy-separated values of individual IPs and Subnet-Masked IPs. After you specify these and save the information, you can retry after getting a successful response.
To avoid partial copying of values, you can use the Copy button in the CDP user interface.
Owing to security reasons, CDP cannot display the credentials more than once. You must save the credential information when it is generated. If you do not have access to your old credentials and want to access the instance, you must regenerate credentials and use the new set of credentials for accessing the instance.
CDP allows you to create a batch with no more than 200 records. If you attempt to create a batch that exceeds the limit of 200 records, the system displays an error message. For example,
The request is over the 200 batch limit. Remove profiles to Submit Request.
Workaround:
To ensure that you do not cross the 200 limit, remove the records. You can create separate batches with each batch containing a maximum of 200 records.
Campaign execution in CDP fails with a zero audience warning message. You can view the warning message on the Campaign History page of each campaign. You can get zero-audience count in CDP campaigns due to the following reasons:
Audience count is zero: Occurs when the campaign could not target or run on any audience segment.
Audience does not have any matching content: Occurs when the targeted audience does not have any matching content.
No content that matched to the campaign output table: Occurs when no content matched to the campaign output table, or the audience segment could not output data in the table.
You are unable to view the Attribution section in the Metrics tab as the multi-touch attribution feature is not provisioned for your account.
To get access to this feature, contact your CDP CVM or AM.
This issue occurs when:
Either of the Transactionsummary, Promotiontypesummary, or Event tables is not refreshed with relevant data.
Tables are not mapped with each other due to blank or null values in the mapping column.
Due to the complex nature of overlapping segments and segment prioritization, there is a concern that randomly splitting a segment anywhere above the leaf-level segment can cause confusion. For example, if segment A and B are overlapping, one might ask “why did segment B suppress 25 people from variant A under segment A, leading to an uneven distribution of people in the A/B test?” To avoid this confusion, and to improve campaign performance, CDP only allows the random splitting of segments or audiences into variants after segmentation is complete.
