MeshBoard - Cross Board Pivot

Troubleshooting

Why Is This Failing?

Use this incident-focused guide to diagnose tier blocks, column format mismatches, automation pauses, and access issues.

Incident Triage Flow

  1. Confirm account tier and trial status.
  2. Validate source board count and per-board row limits.
  3. Check filter field count (max 4) and join key quality.
  4. Inspect target board column types and mapping assumptions.
  5. Review schedule state and pause reason.

Frequent Failures and Fixes

Symptom: “Cannot run pivot” after subscription downgrade.

Cause: Template was soft-locked due to saved pivot cap.

Fix: Delete excess pivots or upgrade plan; locked pivots auto-unlock on qualifying upgrade.

Symptom: Prefetch rejected with limit error.

Cause: More than 4 preload filter fields configured.

Fix: Reduce to 4 fields or fewer and retry.

Symptom: Update to target board fails.

Cause: Output field type does not align with target monday column type.

Fix: Recheck column mapping and target board column formats, then rerun.

Symptom: Schedule stopped running after plan change.

Cause: Schedule paused for downgrade compatibility.

Fix: Upgrade to compatible tier or reconfigure frequency based on current plan.

Pro-tip: If a run fails at writeback, test by writing to a clean summary board with known column types first.
