Troubleshooting

ISSUE 1:Cannot POST data, Source application returned False

Cannot POST data, Source application returned False even if Data is present in the Source Application (Prestashop).

Some of the basic troubleshooting issue happens due to improper validations. In this case, check for the proper validations of the credential for the source application adapter. Also, try deleting the Temp and Cache files from the portal and the system, and try validating the adapter again. Once validated, resync the workflow for successful execution.
