Common Issues

Connection issues

My API key is not being accepted

Double-check that you copied the full API key from your Campayn account settings without any extra spaces. API keys are case-sensitive. If the key still fails, try regenerating it in Campayn and entering the new one in Coupler.io.

The data flow fails immediately after I run it

This usually means the API key is invalid or the Campayn account doesn't have API access enabled. Confirm your Campayn plan includes API access — some lower-tier plans may restrict it. Check Campayn's account settings to verify.

Missing data

Some contacts are not showing up in the Contacts entity

Campayn's API may only return contacts with an active subscription status by default. Contacts who have bounced or unsubscribed might appear in a filtered or reduced state. Check the subscription status field in your results to confirm whether inactive contacts are included.

My Reports entity returns no data

Reports only contain data for campaigns that have been sent. If you have only draft or scheduled emails in your Campayn account, the Reports entity will return empty. Make sure at least one campaign has been sent and delivered before pulling Reports.

Forms data appears empty

If you haven't created any sign-up forms in Campayn, the Forms entity will return no rows. Verify that forms exist in your Campayn account before pulling this entity.

Permission errors

I get a "permission denied" or "unauthorized" error

This typically means the API key belongs to a user role that doesn't have full account access. Make sure the API key is generated from an account owner or admin role in Campayn, not a restricted user.

Data discrepancies

The open and click counts in Coupler.io don't match what I see in Campayn's dashboard

Campayn's dashboard may display real-time or updated metrics, while the API returns data as of the moment the data flow ran. Run the data flow again to get the latest figures. For live dashboards, set up a scheduled refresh to keep numbers current.

Subscriber counts in Lists don't match the Contacts entity

The Lists entity shows the count of active subscribers per list. The Contacts entity includes all contacts regardless of list membership or status. These counts are intentionally different — use the subscription status field in Contacts to filter for active subscribers if you need to reconcile the numbers.

Rate limits

My data flow is slow or times out on large contact lists

Campayn's API has rate limits that slow down large requests. If you have tens of thousands of contacts, the data flow may take longer than expected. Try running the data flow during off-peak hours and avoid triggering multiple runs at the same time.
