What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026CRM connector stopped syncing after IT rotated the API key. Olivia Grant identified the issue within 4 hours and requested the new key to restore connectivity.
Problem: After IT rotated the API key, the CRM connector stopped indexing new records. Handling: Olivia identified the root cause through systematic questioning and asked Linnea for the new key. This was customer-side infrastructure change that required coordination between IT and the brain team. Resolution was straightforward once the key was provided.
Watch: Advise customer on notifying BG-Demo about API key rotations to avoid future outages.

- created · Linnea Holm 25 Jul 2025 17:18Our CRM connector has stopped updating. The last records indexed were from two days ago and nothing new has come through since. We're still adding new customers and opportunities in the CRM so something's broken on our side of the connection. Can you check what's happening?
- Public reply · Olivia Grant 25 Jul 2025 21:22Hi Linnea, thanks for reporting this. I can see the sync has stalled as you say. A few quick questions: have you made any changes to the CRM recently - API key updates, field changes, anything like that? And can you check that the integration user still has the right permissions in your CRM?
- Public reply · Linnea Holm 28 Jul 2025 13:30We did make a change - our IT team rotated the API key two days ago. That matches the time the sync stopped. Could that be the issue? We weren't sure we needed to tell BG-Demo about that.
- Public reply · Olivia Grant 28 Jul 2025 14:46That's almost certainly it - the old key won't work with the new one in place. I'll need the new API key to reconnect the connector. Can you share that with me and I can get the sync running again?
- Public reply · Linnea Holm 29 Jul 2025 14:10I've sent the new key through our secure channel. Let me know once you've updated it on your end.
