As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Helpdesk connector stops syncing new data after setup. Tobias diagnoses an authentication failure caused by the customer's API key rotation and potential v2 endpoint compatibility issue.
Problem: Kenny reports the helpdesk connector is not syncing new data after being set up, with the last records a couple of days old. Handling: Tobias asked for troubleshooting steps, then checked the logs and found the root cause: the customer's helpdesk system rotated an API key, causing authentication failure; there is also a potential v2 endpoint compatibility issue. Watch: Although the root cause was customer-side, the brain depends on stable external integrations. When connectors break, data freshness is at risk even if the brain itself is running.

- created · Kenny Lockhart 24 May 2023 09:21Hi, we set up the helpdesk connector yesterday but it's not syncing any new data. The last records we see are from a couple of days ago. Can you help us sort this out?
- Public reply · Tobias Renwick 24 May 2023 12:03Hi Kenny, can you check a couple of things for me? First, log in to the admin panel and verify the connector credentials are still active. Second, check if there were any changes to permissions on the helpdesk account over the past few days. Let me know what you find. Best, Tobias

- Internal note · Tobias Renwick 26 May 2023 14:03Logs show auth failure at 08:22. API key was rotated on their helpdesk system. Need to verify v2 endpoint compatibility.
