Fixing Pipedrive sync errors
When a lead can't sync to Pipedrive, it shows up in Integrations → Pipedrive → Reconciliation, grouped by error type. This article covers each error category — what it means and how to fix it.
If you got here by clicking the ? icon next to a Reconciliation error, the section below matches your error type. Jump straight to it.
New to Reconciliation? Read the Reconciliation overview first — it explains the tab, the icons, the fix-it drawer, and how retry works. The article below assumes you know that vocabulary.
Authentication errors
What you'll see: "Connection authentication credentials were incorrect at sync."
What it means: Mobly's Pipedrive connection isn't authorized anymore. This usually happens when the user who connected Pipedrive changed their password, was removed from the company, or had MFA enforced — or when Pipedrive expired the OAuth token.
Fix it:
Go to Integrations → Pipedrive → Connect
Re-authorize the connection through Pipedrive's OAuth flow, ideally with a user who has admin permissions and is unlikely to lose access
Then click refresh on the Reconciliation error to retry the failed leads.
Connection errors
What you'll see: "We can auth with the connection, but we cannot interact with the mapped objects as desired."
What it means: Mobly can sign in, but doesn't have permission to read or write the Pipedrive objects your mappings expect — usually Persons, Organizations, or Deals. Pipedrive's permission model is set per-user.
Fix it:
In Pipedrive, check the connecting user's permissions under Settings → Manage users for create/edit access on Persons, Organizations, and any Deal pipelines you've mapped
If permissions changed, re-authorize Mobly under Integrations → Pipedrive → Connect
Then retry from Reconciliation.
Qualifier mapping is missing or out of date
What you'll see: "X needs their mapped connections updated."
What it means: A Mobly qualifier value can't be sent to Pipedrive because it isn't mapped to anything on the Pipedrive side. Common when a new qualifier value is added in Mobly but never mapped, or when the Pipedrive field option it was mapped to was deleted.
Fix it:
Click the wrench icon on the error row in Reconciliation — it opens a "Fix Value Mapping" drawer with the affected qualifier ready to edit
Map the unmapped value(s) to the right Pipedrive field value
Save
Or do it manually under Integrations → Pipedrive → Qualifiers: find the qualifier, open its Action menu, and review every value's mapping.
Then retry from Reconciliation.
Object mapping is missing
What you'll see: "Mapping is missing for X object."
What it means: Mobly is trying to push a lead into a Pipedrive object (Person, Organization, or Deal) but you haven't mapped any fields on that object yet.
Fix it:
Go to Integrations → Pipedrive → Mapping
Find the object section flagged in the error
Click Set Defaults to auto-populate Mobly's recommended mappings, or map fields manually
Save
Then retry from Reconciliation.
Required Pipedrive field is missing
What you'll see: "Required field X is missing in the CRM" — or — "Were previously mapped but the field is now missing."
What it means: A Pipedrive field your mapping points to doesn't exist anymore. Usually someone deleted or renamed the field on the Pipedrive side.
Fix it: Click the wrench icon on the error row to open the "Fix Missing Field Mapping" drawer — pick a different Pipedrive field to map to, or clear the mapping if you no longer need it.
If the field was deleted by mistake, recreate it: in Pipedrive, Settings → Data Fields → [object type] → Add custom field.
Then retry from Reconciliation.
Data is too long for the field
What you'll see: "Exceeded the X field limit."
What it means: A value Mobly sent (job title, company name, notes, etc.) is longer than the Pipedrive field's character limit. Most Pipedrive text fields default to 255 characters.
Fix it: Click the wrench icon on the error row to open the "Fix Field Length" drawer — pick a different Mobly field to map (one whose values fit), or clear the mapping if you don't need this field synced.
If you'd rather keep the mapping as-is, change the field type in Pipedrive to Large text (paragraph): Settings → Data Fields → [object type] → [field].
Then retry from Reconciliation.
Data format conflict
What you'll see: "Data format conflict with the X."
What it means: A value Mobly sent doesn't match the format Pipedrive expects for that field — most common with phone numbers, email addresses, and dates.
Common example: An email field gets a value missing the @ sign, or a date field gets a malformed date string. Pipedrive rejects it.
Fix it: Two paths.
Click the wrench icon on the error row to open the "Fix Data Format Mapping" drawer — useful when the right answer is to remap to a different Pipedrive field that accepts the format you're sending.
Click the Log button on the affected lead to see the exact value Mobly tried to send. If the data itself is wrong, correct it on the lead in My Leads.
Then retry from Reconciliation.
Value isn't valid in Pipedrive
What you'll see: "Value sent for X is not valid in the CRM."
What it means: The value Mobly sent isn't one of the allowed options for that Pipedrive field. Most common with single-option and multiple-option fields that have a fixed value list.
Fix it:
In Pipedrive, Settings → Data Fields → [object type] → [field] and review the field's allowed options
Either add the missing option in Pipedrive, or update Mobly's qualifier mapping so it sends one of the existing options under Integrations → Pipedrive → Qualifiers
Then retry from Reconciliation.
Not enough data to sync
What you'll see: "Not enough data to meet X requirement."
What it means: A field that's required for the sync (usually email) is missing or hasn't been enriched yet. Pipedrive requires this to create or update the Person.
Fix it: Depends on enrichment state.
If enrichment is still in progress: Most leads enrich within minutes. Wait, then click refresh on the Reconciliation error to retry. If the field is populated, the lead clears.
If enrichment finished and the data is still missing:
Open the lead in Mobly (My Leads)
Manually fill in the required field
Retry from Reconciliation
If a high percentage of leads are hitting this for the same field, the requirement may be too strict for the data you're capturing. Talk to your CSM about adjusting Mobly's enrichment requirements or making the Pipedrive field optional.
Legacy integration errors
What you'll see: "Legacy integration error."
What it means: The error came from the older (legacy) Pipedrive integration that Mobly is deprecating.
Fix it: Move to the new Pipedrive integration — see Migrating from the legacy integration.
After migrating, click refresh on the Reconciliation error — successful resyncs land in Cleared.
Unexpected errors
What you'll see: "Unable to sync due to an unexpected error not yet categorized." The category label may show as either UNHANDLED_ERROR or UNCATEGORIZED — both mean the same thing for you.
What it means: Pipedrive returned an error pattern Mobly hasn't seen before, so it can't suggest a self-serve fix. These errors get grouped here so the Mobly team can categorize them and add specific fixes in future releases.
Fix it:
Click the Log button on the affected lead and copy the error response
Send it to your CSM with the Lead ID
The Mobly engineering team uses these reports to add new error categories with specific fixes — so the next person hitting the same issue gets a self-serve answer.
