Hi@CRMguys,welcome to the Community!I’ve been looking into this and noticed thatyou also reached out to our Support team about this. It appears they were able to dig into the logs and get some further details on what’s causing the error. Not sure if you’ve seen their reply yet but thought I’d share the key details from it here in case it’s helpful to you and anyone else that comes across this:“I had a look at the logs, and they show the following error:FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTIONThis error in Salesforce indicates that the data you're trying to input doesn't align with the validation rules that have been set up in Salesforce. Here's how you can troubleshoot this issue:Understand the Validation Rule: Review the error message you're receiving, as it should specify which validation rule is being violated. If no rule is specified, go to the Salesforce interface, navigate to the Object affected (in this case, the Lead object), and review its validation rules.Check Data Input: Compare your data against the validation rules. The issue could be something as minor as a certain field requiring a specific format, or a field being required that you've left blank.Modify Data or Validation Rules as Needed: Depending upon the needs of your business process, correct the data to meet the validation rules or adjust the validation rule if it's too restrictive.Test: After correcting the data or modifying the rule, test the process again to make sure the issue is resolved.Remember, your Salesforce Admin or support should be able to assist with this if you're unsure of how to proceed. You should also exercise caution when adjusting validation rules, as those rules might be in place for important business reasons.”Hope that helps. If you have any follow up questions on that I'd recommend continuing yourconversation with the Support team directly over email as they'll be better placed to advise further.🙂
