What you’ll accomplish

Diagnose missing status changes, failed charges and webhook or cron communication problems. Britixo CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.

Follow these steps

  1. Go to the affected area: Subscriptions / Gateway dashboard / Cron.
  2. Capture the exact record, user, time, status and message involved; avoid changing multiple settings at once.
  3. Check user permissions, record assignment and active/inactive status first.
  4. Verify required configuration such as SMTP, cron, gateway credentials, webhook URL or contact permissions.
  5. Check activity, email, pipe or gateway logs available in Britixo CRM and the connected service.
  6. Retest with a controlled record after correcting one identified cause.
  7. Escalate with the captured evidence if the issue remains; do not expose credentials or personal data in screenshots.

Checks before you finish

  • Review webhook and recurring payment status after checkout.
  • Check whether the result should be visible to a customer contact or only to staff.
  • Confirm the final status, activity entry, generated document or notification before leaving the record.
