Validation & Monitoring (optional)
- Test the Setup: Submit test leads with complete contact details (such as first name, last name, address, city, state, postal code, and optionally phone) to verify that the appended data (for instance, credit score and estimated home value) appears correctly in the lead event details.
- Where to Monitor?: Review the lead events in the Events tab of your flow dashboard; confirm that the appended fields match the expected values from Experian.
Best Practices
- Enable only the fields you truly need to control transaction costs.
- Ensure that leads provide complete and accurate address data to maximize Experian’s matching accuracy.
- Regularly review the appended data in your reporting dashboards to verify quality and adjust your field selections as necessary.
- Leverage additional insights, such as Match Type and Zip4 Credit Score Grade, to segment and prioritize leads more effectively.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom / Error | Likely Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Lead appended with “Failure” outcome | Some fields (e.g., postal code) are missing or invalid in the lead | Verify that required fields (first name, last name, address, city, state, postal code) are submitted |
| No data appended to the lead | The Experian service could be temporarily unreachable or misconfigured | Check your connectivity and configuration; review LeadConduit logs for detailed error messages |
| Unexpected “Error” outcome with a detailed reason | An unexpected error occurred (e.g., system outage or malformed request) | Consult the “reason” field in the response; if the issue persists, contact support with error details |
| Mismatch in Match Type (e.g., returned “Household Level” when Person Level expected) | Variations in submitted data (e.g., name/address discrepancies) | Recheck the accuracy of submitted data; consider aligning lead data with Experian requirements |
