What happened
What this says
Current to 10 Oct 26Submissions connector stopped loading new records when the API key expired at the source system. Bethan Lister guided Callum Reid through renewing the key and verifying the connection, which restored data flow.
Problem: The submissions connector had stopped syncing new records. Callum checked the connector dashboard and found the API key had expired on the source system, not in BB-Demo.
Handling: Bethan walked through checking sync status, obtaining a new key, updating it in the connector settings, and running a test connection. The next scheduled refresh at 07:00 brought through fresh records.
Watch: Routine connector maintenance where the source system controls key rotation. This customer has good operational awareness.

- public_reply · Bethan Lister 30 Apr 2025 18:09Hi Callum, Can you try a couple of things? Go to Settings > Connectors > Submissions and check the sync status – is it showing an error? Verify the account or API key you use there is still valid – sometimes systems rotate keys on their end and that breaks the sync. Let me know what you find. Thanks, Bethan

- public_reply · Bethan Lister 6 May 2025 10:10Thanks for checking that. Just so I've got this right – once you have the new key, the next steps are to go into Connectors and click Edit on the submissions connector. Paste the new API key into the auth field. Click Test Connection – it should succeed. Then Save. The next scheduled sync is at 07:00 customer local time, so you'll see fresh records come through then. Once you've updated it, can you let me know so I can keep an eye on the sync? Thanks, Bethan
