Cognism Troubleshooting
Problem: Low Match Rates on CSV Upload
Przyczyna: Your file lacks a company website column, so the matcher has nothing solid to anchor on.
Naprawić: Add a domain column, remove personal email addresses, then re-upload the file.
Problem: Chrome Extension Shows No Contact
Przyczyna: The extension lost its session, or the profile sits outside your data access tier.
Naprawić: Sign out of the browser extension, sign back in, then reload the LinkedIn Sales Navigator tab.
Problem: Records Not Reaching Salesforce
Przyczyna: Field mapping is incomplete, so required fields reject the write.
Naprawić: Open Integrations, re-map every required field, then push one test contact before running a bulk export.
📌 Notatka: If none of these fix your issue, contact Cognism support.
