Still Not Working, Let’s Troubleshoot!

If you are not getting dummy lead from your Bot to Google Sheets, it may be due to the multiple reasons:

  • Wrong Mapping Set up - Your mapping with BotPenguin Question and App parameter is either incorrect or you haven’t added any mandatory parameter.

  • Free plan- You are not subscribed to the paid plan on BotPenguin as integration works only in paid plan.

If everything is correct and you are still unable to move forward, write to us at contact@botpenguin.com. We will respond back within 48 business hours.
