Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to resolve them. If your problem isn’t listed here, open the affected event in the dashboard and ask the agent — it has full execution traces and usually pinpoints the cause.
“Event blocked: 429 Too Many Requests”
Your organization hit its tier quota.
- Developer tier: 2,000 events/month. Upgrade to Starter (25,000/month) or Pro (75,000/month) for more headroom.
- Higher volumes: Scale includes 400,000 events/month; Enterprise plans include a custom fair-use band. Visit Settings → Billing.
“Sync failed: HubSpot 401 Unauthorized”
Your HubSpot OAuth token has been revoked or expired.
- Go to Settings → Integrations → HubSpot.
- Click Reconnect and approve the OAuth flow again.
- Retry the failed event from the dashboard.
If reconnect fails, your HubSpot admin may have removed Plugsync from approved apps. Ask them to reapprove.
“Identity mapping conflict: ambiguous match”
Plugsync found two HubSpot records that could match the incoming event (e.g., two contacts with the same email).
- Open the event in the dashboard. The conflict resolution panel shows both candidates.
- Pick the correct match, or merge the duplicates in HubSpot first and retry.
- This is about identity matching, not field-level conflicts. For per-field conflict resolution between your source system and HubSpot edits, see Bidirectional sync and conflict resolution: configure the connector’s
conflictsblock withstrategyset tosource_wins,target_wins, ormost_recent.
“Custom object property does not exist”
The connector tried to write to a HubSpot property that isn’t defined on your portal.
- Open HubSpot Settings → Properties and create the property.
- Or, change the field mapping to point to an existing property.
“Webhook signature invalid”
The HMAC signature on your inbound webhook didn’t match.
- Confirm the secret in your sender matches the one shown under the connector’s Webhooks tab.
- Confirm the signature header name and encoding (default:
x-signature-sha256, HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body, base64-encoded).
“My connector is paused”
Connectors auto-pause after repeated permanent errors to prevent runaway failures.
- Open the connector and click Resume.
- Review the latest failed events to fix the root cause first; otherwise it’ll re-pause.
Still stuck
Email [email protected] with:
- Your organization ID (Settings → Account).
- The connector ID and event ID for the failure.
- The execution trace (downloadable from the event detail page).
Pro and Enterprise customers have priority response SLAs.
