Troubleshooting
If you have connected to Retention Science and data is not being added to your account, these are the most common reasons as to why:
Email already in Retention Science
The email address entered into the promotion may already be in your Retention Science account, so it will not be added again.
Email already entered into ViralSweep
βThe email address entered into the promotion has already been entered into the promotion previously, so therefore it is not passed to Retention Science. This can happen if you set up your Retention Science integration after you have already entered the promotion.
Delay in reporting
βRetention Science currently has a 24 hour delay on reporting, so you will not see data in your dashboard for a day or two.
