Please send more information in the email alerts for Rule / Connector / Data Designer Failure / Partial Failure / Partial Success Notifications.

Here is an example of a recent notification we received:

Hi ,

Your request to run the following Horizon rule partially failed. Results can be downloaded from Rules execution history page. Below is a summary of the rule execution.
 

Rule Name: Admin: Load from GS to SFDC (Site Trials)
Execution Type: Scheduled
Rule Date: 2024-04-01



Thanks,
Gainsight Team

 

We cannot use the Rule Name link because it directs to Gainsight stand-alone and we use Gainsight as a console app in Salesforce.  Related topic here.  So these are the steps we needed to take to resolve:

  • Open Gainsight NXT in Salesforce
  • Navigate to Rules
  • Search for Rule
  • Open Execution Log
    • Now we know 1 record failed out of 2,900
  • Download failures
  • Find error message in column within the report (in this case, it was the last column, but I have found it in the middle of the report before)

Only now can we start to troubleshoot.  Some possible improvements:

  • Gold star: the email would contain an attachment of the downloaded failures, so we can immediately take action. 
  • Sharing the scope of the issue - how many success and failures
    • getting a count by error message would be amazing if we need to get aggregated info
  • The top most common error message in the failure would tell us which system to review
