WooCommerce -> Pardot giving a "Failed to Create Prospect" error

Hi @sean-the-patrick 

Good question.

Wondering if this is related.

Error: This API user lacks sufficient permissions for the requested operation

Pardot requires that you are an admin to perform certain actions. You can see permissions for your users here: https://pi.pardot.com/user

You’ll need to upgrade your user’s role to Admin, then reconnect the account to Zapier and try again.

Hey @Troy Tessalone, thanks for weighing in!

I’m already an Administrator. :/

@sean-the-patrick 

Are these the only fields you are trying to set?

If there are other fields mapped/configured, then show a screenshot of those.

Also, check deduplication rules in Pardot/Salesforce.

@Troy Tessalone 

Thanks for the help, I’m trying this again today.

I’m trying to simplify this as much as possible, so I have Zapier checking Pardot to find if the email address that I’m sending exists as a current prospect (Find Prospect in Pardot). The only field required is the email address. And I know this is an email address that’s in Pardot already, so it should have no issue finding it.

Same issue, sadly -- error 109.

Any ideas?

If you have a Zapier paid plan, you can open a ticket with Zapier Support: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

A possible work around would be to try to use the Pardot API: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/pardot/guide/version5overview.html

Zap action: Pardot - API Request

Thanks @Troy Tessalone !

Couldn’t get this to work, so am instead using a Pardot form handler, as per these instructions:

https://sfmc-curated.com/thespotforpardot.com/Watch-the-Data-Flow-into-Pardot-with-Zapier?id=4104

We just switched our account over to a team account and are running into this issue. Everything was working great until the switch. 

We are doing something different and looking up prospects before adding them to a list in the 4th step. We continue to get error code 109, Failed to find or create a prospect in Pardot. 

This is the same record I have used for testing for over a year now, and it is definitely in Pardot. 

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

@workinmamaxoxo I had a similar issue as well but I found a solution. You can try the same and see if it works.

Instead of trying to match using the email address on the “Add Prospect to List”, use the Prospect ID input from the Find/Create Prospect record step.
