Time required: 5-10 minutes (reference guide)
Prerequisites:
Access to Captured Knowledge
Expected results: After reviewing this guide, you will know how to resolve the most common issues with email linking, ERP integration, missing data, and action execution.
The error message just says "Building required" but you've already selected a property. The tenant is waiting for confirmation. Your ERP system shows the ticket exists but Captured Knowledge doesn't see it.
This guide gets you unstuck. Each problem includes why it happens and exactly how to fix it.

Email Linked to Wrong Case
Problem: An email was automatically linked to Case A, but it actually belongs to Case B (or should create an entirely new case).
Why this happens:
AI matched based on property, contacts, and content similarity
Email thread was reused for a different issue
Similar properties or tenants caused confusion
Multiple issues mentioned in one email
Solution 1 - Move to Correct Case (if you know the right case):
Open the case with the incorrectly linked email
Find the "Import Email" action showing the email
Click "Link to another case"
Search for the correct case by case number, property address, tenant name, or problem description
Select the correct case from search results
Click "Confirm"
Solution 2 - Create a New Case (if you're not sure where it belongs):
Open the case with the incorrectly linked email
Find the "Import Email" action
Click "Create new case"
Provide instructions to help the AI (optional): "This is about Apartment 5C, not 5B" or "This is a new heating issue, not related to plumbing"
Tick "Remove Link" for the current case
Click "Confirm"
Wait for processing to complete (10-30 seconds)
Review the new case created by the AI
Adjust the new case or manually link elsewhere if needed
Solution 3 - Unlink Completely:
Open the case with the incorrectly linked email
Find the "Import Email" action
Click "Don't Link" or "Don't Link to Case"
Optionally choose to move email back to inbox
Confirm
Prevention: Review AI-suggested case links before accepting them. Check property and contact details carefully. When in doubt, use "Create new case" with specific instructions so the AI has the context it needs.
Note: You cannot create a new case from emails you created and sent from within Captured Knowledge.
Ticket Already Linked to Another Case
Problem: You want to link a case to a specific ERP ticket via the ERP Ticket tab, but the ticket is already linked to another case.
Why this happens:
A ticket can only be linked to exactly one case at a time
The ticket was previously linked to a different case
Duplicate cases may exist for the same issue
Solution 1 - Merge the Cases (best for duplicates):
Move all messages from the secondary case to the primary case
Link the ticket to the primary case
Archive the secondary case once it contains no messages
Result: One consolidated case with complete communication history.
Solution 2 - Reassign the Ticket (Unlink & Relink):
Open the original case
Disconnect the ticket (Unlink)
Open your current case
Link the ticket to the current case
Result: The ticket is now linked to the correct case.
Solution 3 - Create a New Ticket (for new incidents):
Create a separate, new ERP ticket for the current case
Document that this is a new incident
Result: Each incident has its own ticket for clean documentation.
Prevention: Before linking, check if the ticket is already connected to an active case. Create separate tickets per incident for recurring problems.
Missing Real Estate Warning - "Building Required"
Problem: Error when creating ERP ticket or work order: "Building required" or "At least one building must be selected."
Why this happens:
ERP tickets and work orders must be associated with properties
Buildings weren't imported when the case was created
Properties were unlinked from the case
Solution 1 - Import from Case (if case has buildings):
In the action form, find the Buildings section
Click "Import buildings from case"
Verify buildings appear and continue
Solution 2 - Manually Select Buildings:
In the action form, open the property selector
Search by building number, address, or city
Select the building(s) and confirm
Solution 3 - Add to Case First:
Exit the action form
Edit the case to add buildings/properties
Return to the action and use "Import buildings from case"
Prevention: Always verify case has buildings before creating ERP actions. Add buildings when creating a case if known.
Action Execution Failed
Problem: An action failed with an error message.
Common errors and solutions:
Error
Solution
"ERP ticket must exist before creating work order"
Create or link an ERP ticket on the case first. If the case already shows an ERP ticket and you still get this message, save the work order as a draft and execute it from the draft card.
"Building required"
See Missing Real Estate Warning above
"Invalid recipient email address"
Check "To" field for typos, verify format ([email protected])
"Failed to sync with ERP system"
Wait 1-2 minutes and retry. If persists, check if ERP system is accessible
"Title is required" or missing field
Fill all required fields (marked with *)
"You don't have permission"
Check with team administrator about your role/permissions
General troubleshooting:
Read the error message carefully
Check all required fields (red indicators show what's missing)
Verify prerequisites (ERP ticket for work orders, buildings for tickets)
Refresh the page if needed
Contact support if the error persists after trying these fixes
Cannot Find an Entity
Problem: Search returns no results even though the entity exists.
Searching for Cases:
By case number: "1234" or "#1234"
By property: building name, unit, or address
By tenant name: full name, last name, or first name
By keyword: "faucet", "leak", "urgent"
Check filters: status, date range, team view
Try browsing: sort by date and scroll
Searching for Emails:
By subject: use partial text without special characters
By sender: email address or name
Check the correct tab: Inbound Emails vs Action Emails
Use date filters to narrow results
Check if email is linked to a case (won't show in global search)
Searching for Properties/Buildings:
Try different criteria: building number, unit, address, city, postal code
Use Quick Filters: "Residential Only" or "Buildings only"
Broaden search: remove filters, search by city first
Verify property exists in ERP system
Wait for sync if property was recently added to ERP
Searching for Service Providers:
Try partial names: "Quality" instead of "Quality Plumbing Services"
Check all smart groups: "From Case", "Previously used", "New to Building"
Verify trade selection matches the provider type
Check ERP system for correct spelling and active status
General tips: Start broad, then narrow. Use partial matches ("River" finds "Riverside Building"). Try different terms ("leak" vs "drip" vs "water issue"). Remove special characters. Check spelling carefully.
ERP Ticket Not Syncing
Problem: ERP ticket created in Captured Knowledge not appearing in ERP system (or vice versa).
Solution 1 - Wait and Verify:
Wait 2-5 minutes for sync
Refresh both ERP system and Captured Knowledge
Check if ticket appears
Solution 2 - Check Ticket Details:
Open the case in Captured Knowledge
Go to ERP Ticket tab
Look for the ticket number (e.g., "TK-5678")
If you see "None" instead of a ticket number, creation may have failed
Check the sync status (will show "Not Synced", "Sync Failed", etc.)
Look for error messages
Try unlinking and recreating the ticket
Solution 3 - Verify ERP Connection:
Try creating a different ERP entity (work order, damage report)
If those also fail, there's likely a connection issue
Access ERP system directly to verify it's available
Contact support if ERP is working but sync isn't
Solution 4 - Check for Duplicates:
Search in ERP by ticket number, property address, tenant name, or today's date
If found, link the existing ticket to the case in Captured Knowledge
Solution 5 - Manual Recreation:
Create the ticket directly in ERP system
Use "Link ERP Ticket" in Captured Knowledge to connect it
Add a note explaining the manual creation
Report the issue to support
Prevention: Fill all required fields before creating. Wait for success confirmation before navigating away. Verify ticket appears in ERP Ticket tab with proper number.
"Create New Case" Not Working
Problem: Clicked "Create new case" but nothing happens or no new case appears.
Solution 1 - Wait for Processing:
Wait 30-60 seconds after clicking
Don't navigate away
Look for the processing spinner and the new case
If nothing after 1 minute, refresh and check for new import actions
Solution 2 - Provide Better Instructions:
Instead of: (No instructions), "This is wrong", "Fix it"
Try: "This email is about Apartment 3B heating issue, not Apartment 4C plumbing", "Create a new case for this water leak - it's not related to the old heating repair", "This should link to ERP ticket #1234 about roof repairs"
Solution 3 - Check Unlinking Options:
Tick "Remove Link" for the cases the email should leave (most common)
Don't tick "Delete Case" unless certain
If you skip unlinking, the change may not have full effect
Solution 4 - Use Manual Linking Instead:
If you know where the email belongs, use "Link to another case"
Search for the correct case manually
Link directly without waiting for AI
Solution 5 - Report the Problem:
Take a screenshot of the email and current state
Note what you expected vs what happened
Contact support with details
Other Common Issues
"I can't see my teammate's cases"
Problem: You cannot see cases that belong to your team members.
Solution: Check team filters and date range. Verify permissions with team administrator. Ensure you're in the correct team view.
"Attachments won't upload"
Problem: File upload fails or hangs.
Solution: Check file size (20MB limit per file). Try different file format. Verify internet connection. Split into multiple smaller files if needed.
"Changes aren't saving"
Problem: You make changes but they don't persist.
Solution: Click "Save" button explicitly. Wait for confirmation message. Check for validation errors in form. Refresh page to verify changes.
"I can't delete a case"
Problem: There's no delete option for cases.
Solution: Cases are archived, not deleted (preserves audit trail). Change status to Resolved or Rejected, then archive.
