#3748 - Mailchimp activities not showing in Sugar

Closed Bug? created by mailchimp 5 years ago

We've sent many mailchimp mails since December 17, including 8K on the 4th June and 8k on the 7th June but Mailchimp Activities shows no activities since 07-12-2017, with the strange exception of just one of Activity Type "Send" on 18-06-2018.

Here's some info from our Heath Status:

MailChimp Connection: Yes

SugarChimp License: Yes

SugarChimp Version: 8.0.1a SugarChimp Edition: professional Last Ran: 21-06-2018 14:00 Interval: Every5minutes Scheduler Status: Active view scheduler

Pending to MailChimp
Lists: 2 Targets/Leads/Contacts: 1095

Pending Activities from MailChimp
Activities to Process: 8819 Pending Activity Import Job: Done

SmartList Scheduler Status
Last Ran: 21-06-2018 14:00 Interval: Every5minutes Scheduler Status: Active view scheduler

I'm not sure what those 2 Pending to Mailchimp lists are, all our lists are Status: Sync Complete.

It looks like ther are activities pending to sync from Mailchimp but it just isn't happening and the status says "Done".

This problem existed on our previous version of SugarChimp as well, we updated to the latest version to see it that would fix it.

What could be the problem?

Thanks.

    Hello there,

    I'm sorry for the trouble. It seems that there is an error in your scheduler run causing nothing to get processed. The queue'd lists are probably old lists that were syncing and never got removed. They should not hurt anything, but we can get those numbers cleared out so we know what is going on a little clearer. It would probably be easiest to jump on a call and figure out what is going on. Can you schedule a time with us to look at it together here: https://calendly.com/fanaticallabs/sugarchimp-support

    I look forward to helping you get those activities synced correctly soon.

    Kind Regards, Jon

    Hi,

    We did the online session on Monday 25th. There were still issues at the end and I sent some more info over. I chased again by email to support@sugarchimp.com on Thursday 28th but no reply. What is happening with this?

    Thank you

    Hello Sean,

    I apologize for the delayed response. I'll look into why you did not get a response on Thursday, as that is certainly not expected. I will get back to you with some answers today.

    Thanks! Jon

    Hello Sean,

    First off, I am very sorry that you did not get a response sooner than you did. I've looked into the issue we're having and it is something within SugarCRM internally that is causing our scheduler to fail. My initial thought is that it could be that the User with id=1 is not set as active. If this is the case, then we should be getting some errors on the job_queue table that will confirm the problem. Either way, we will need to get Sugar's support involved to see if they can help us track down the solution. Can you please reach out to them with this information:

    We have a custom scheduler job, 'SugarChimp', which is failing during the cron run. The only error we get in the logs is this: 'The given security subject is not active'. There is more detailed logs for that error in the info logs. Would it be possible to turn logging to info so that we can see what is causing the error? Could you also explain what that error means in general so we have more context on what in the integration could cause the error to occur.

    Hopefully with this they can get us a solution quickly.

    Thanks, Jon

      Jon,

      User ID = 1 is admin who is an active user so I don't think that's the issue.

      I've sent the request for info logging to Sugar. I'll report back when its switched on.

      Thanks.

    Jon,

    Sugar replied with this:

    Case Number: 318520 Case Name: Turn logging to info Subject: Case update Note: Hello James,

    Thank you for contacting SugarCRM Support.

    When did you first notice these errors with the Sugar Chimp integration? Could you please check if you are running the latest version of the integration? There have been some issues reported about the compatibility between SugarChimp and Sugar 8 which have been addressed in the latest release: https://www.sugaroutfitters.com/support/SugarChimp/3670

    I have checked the sugarcrm.log file on the live instance and I can see the following errors just before the SugarChimp fatal errors:

    [FATAL] workflow attempting to send alert to inactive user M*** A***** [FATAL] PHPMailerProxy encountered an error: You must provide at least one recipient email address.

    I am not sure if the issue is related but could you please check the workflows created for the SugarChimp integration and update them with a valid user account?

    Please note that it is not recommended to change the level of logging for the production instance as it can impact the performance. We can, however, create a clone instance and change the logging level there so that you can use to further troubleshoot the issue.

    I am looking forward to your updates.

    Kind Regards, Simona Cretu SugarCRM Support

    We are running the latest release so that's not it. The user they mentioned has left the company and their account has been disabled but I'm not aware of anywhere in the config that we flag that or any other user. I can now see mailchimp activities coming through up to the 25th of June but no clickthrough tasks. Our clickthrough tasks from Dec 17 (the last time any were created) are all assigned to Administrator anyway.

    Ermm.....? Over to you :-)

    Hello Sean,

    Well, we might have to go the clone route. This error only happens in 1 spot in Sugar code, so I was hoping they would know how Sugar could get there. Are you still seeing that error regularly? If we can replicate the problem, then I would like to have them create a clone instance for us to look at, set the logging to info, and figure out why the error is happening.

    The clone instance would also help us to get a better view of what is happening with these activities. I'm not sure if they are completely stuck, or just very far behind. We will get to the bottom of this.

    Thanks, Jon

    Jon,

    We now have a clone instance. Perhaps we can set a time to do a remote session to investigate?

    Thanks
