When something in CDP does not work

The most common CDP problems in one place — no events, numbers that differ from the store, duplicates, a store that does not sync, empty segments, missing menus — with the fix or the page that has it.

Start with the symptom. Each answer is short and points to the page that explains it fully.

No data arrives

Symptoms: the dashboard is empty, Events shows No events yet, a site is No Data.

The script is not running on your live site, or its events are blocked. Run the two-minute test and the browser checks in Check that tracking works, and fix it when it does not. The usual causes: the tag was never published or a theme update removed it, a cache serves old pages, a strict consent mode waits for Accept, your site's Content Security Policy blocks cdp.monfri.net.

Page views arrive, store events do not

The site type is not E-commerce or the platform is not recognised. In Settings → Tracking & SDK, set E-commerce and the Platform, then Update script. See Sites in CDP: the domains that send you data.

The store does not sync

Commerce → Connections shows an error or disconnected. Usually the key was revoked or replaced in the store. Create a new key and connect again — see Connect your online store and Store sync: how often, what, and when it fails.

Revenue or orders differ from the store's report

The two count differently — later edits and refunds, the time zone, which orders count, gross against net. Commerce → Connections → Data health compares them order by order. See E-commerce analytics: revenue, orders and conversion.

One person, two profiles

They used two browsers and identified only on one, or two e-mail addresses. Merge them with Merge Profile — see Customer profiles: everything CDP knows about one person and How Monfri recognises a visitor.

A customer is missing or anonymous

Store customers get a profile only when they have an e-mail address; visitors only when they identify themselves on the site. See How Monfri recognises a visitor.

A segment has 0 members, or the wrong people

  • Wait a few minutes after saving — or for the night, for a segment marked Updated daily.
  • Check it is Active.
  • Loosen the conditions one at a time; compare values and event names with real ones in Audience → Events.

See Segment conditions: the complete reference and Using segments: live and daily, growth, and where they work.

A flow did not start for a segment's new members

The first fill of a new segment and big waves after a rule change do not start flows, on purpose. See Using segments: live and daily, growth, and where they work.

A menu or a screen is missing

  • Commerce and E-commerce appear only for a site of type E-commerce; News, Newsroom Intelligence and Brands only for News / Blog.
  • Your access may be limited to some CDP sections, or your CDP role is Viewer. An owner or admin can change it — see What each person can open: service access.

Recommendations do not show

Check the placement is Active, the page matches its pattern and the CSS selector still exists — see Recommendations: Reco Studio, widgets and their results.

Still stuck

Write to [email protected] with the workspace, what you did, what you expected and a screenshot. For a problem with tracking, add what the browser's Console and Network tabs show. The status page shows whether something is down on our side.
