What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Salesforce CRM connector showed as active but returned zero records, blocking consultants from accessing client role data. Bethan Lister identified root cause: API credentials lacked permissions for required objects.
Problem: Deirdre Barry set up CRM connector to Salesforce but it returned zero records despite showing as active. Consultants could not access client role data needed for their work.
Handling: Bethan Lister responded within 94 minutes and correctly diagnosed the issue as insufficient API permissions. She provided a checklist to verify that Salesforce credentials had access to required objects.
Watch: Salesforce connector setups often fail due to permission mismatches; customers should pre-verify API user access to Contact, Lead, Opportunity and other objects.

Can you tell me what your CRM system is: Salesforce, HubSpot, or something else? And have the consultants actually seen any data from it yet? Let me know and I can dig in. Thanks, Bethan
- Public reply · Deirdre Barry 25 Sep 2025 16:48It's Salesforce. The connector shows as active but there are zero records indexed. The consultants are asking where the roles are. We need this working so they can actually use the brain. Can you see what's blocking it?
- Public reply · Bethan Lister 25 Sep 2025 16:55Got it. I can see the Salesforce connector is connected but not syncing. The issue is usually that the API credentials don't have permissions for the right objects. I'm going to check your Salesforce access from our end and send you a quick checklist of things to verify. Back to you in a minute. Thanks, Bethan
