Common issues and troubleshooting for facility deployments

Answers to frequently encountered problems when using signnow's contact and organization management with Freshsales CRM, focusing on syncing, permissions, and document delivery.

Contacts not syncing with Freshsales CRM
Confirm API credentials and mapping settings in the integration panel. Check for duplicate email addresses and ensure field types match between systems before re-running the sync.
Organization records missing in document library
Verify that organization metadata is included during template creation and that account-level permissions allow templates to attach to organization records when documents are completed.
Signers report incorrect prefilled data
Review template field mappings and source contact entries; correct any typos in organization fields and reapply the template to a test contact to validate changes.
Audit trail entries appear incomplete
Ensure detailed logging is enabled and that any third-party retention or archival tools preserve attached audit logs; export logs before automated archiving if required.
Mobile signing errors on iOS or Android
Ask signers to update the mobile app, verify network connectivity, and clear local cache; test the flow on representative devices to reproduce and diagnose the issue.
Permissions prevent external vendors from accessing documents
Check recipient access settings and sharing links; use role-based recipient types and enable link-specific permissions or one-time access codes for external contractors.
