Troubleshooting

  • Invalid API Key Error: Double-check that the key is correctly copied without spaces. If issues persist, regenerate a new API key in Connecteam.
  • Authentication Failure: Ensure your Connecteam plan includes API access (Enterprise only).
  • Data Not Syncing: Verify the selected Attendance Import From Date is correct and that employees have logged time entries.

  • Initial Sync Time: The first sync may take up to 24 hours, depending on the amount of data being transferred.
  • Sync Frequency: Subsequent syncs occur approximately every two hours.
  • Manual Sync: You can manually force a sync in Protiv if you need to update data immediately.
