"The import of solution: Act-On Marketing Platform for MS Dynamics completed with warning."
You may see a warning after importing the solution related to Lead and Contact entities.
Detail: "The duplicate detection rules for this entity have been unpublished due to possible modifications to the entity."
The Act-On package creates a new custom field of Act-On Behavior Score on the Lead and Contact entities. This can upset duplicate detection rules.
Solution
This is a warning and no further action is necessary for the Act-On solution to function. However, Dynamics Administrators may wish to review duplicate detection rules and re-publish them.
"You do not have the required privileges to view this page." or 404 errors
This error will show in the following circumstances:
- On the first visit to the Act-On Dashboard when installing the solution.
- For all MS Dynamics users who are not registered to use Act-On.
Solution
If this is the first time you are setting up Act-On, this is expected. Continue to Act-On > Configuration to register your users. See full instructions here.
If this is showing for a user who needs to access Act-On, first have your Act-On administrator confirm they have been added as an Act-On user in our application. This applies to all users including System Administrators.
Next, have your system administrator in MS Dynamics go to Act-On > Configuration and register the user. See full instructions here.
"Your account is not setup for access to Act-On" or "An internal error has occurred. Please try again later"
Both of these errors may occur when the Act-On Connected User does not have the Act-On Sales User security role. This user does not need to be registered in Act-On and does not need to be configured in the plugin registration, but the security role is required.
Solution
Assign the security role Act-On Sales User to the Act-On Connected User. See full instructions here.
"Problem accessing Dynamics custom_acton_sso Data : error : Forbidden"
This error will show for users who do not have the Act-On Sales User security role set.
Solution
Have your system administrator in MS Dynamics navigate to Settings > Administration > Users and add the security role Act-On Sales User. See full instructions here.
"Blocked by X-Frame-Options Policy"
This error may show for users who have browser security settings that are blocking Act-On from loading in Microsoft Dynamics.
Solution
