agent failed to route a detractor response to the account owner error

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in detractor routing agent by acting on the exact problem first: time box the owner lookup with a fallback to the account record cached in the CRM, send the alert as soon as the owner resolves instead of after the whole batch, and log per response timing to find the slow lookup. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent timed out routing a detractor response to the account owner

Use this when

• The operation in detractor routing agent fails with this exact problem or symptom: agent timed out routing a detractor response to the account owner.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• NPS follow-up, routing or reporting is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in detractor routing agent, and copy the full problem plus the response, contact or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: time box the owner lookup with a fallback to the account record cached in the CRM, send the alert as soon as the owner resolves instead of after the whole batch, and log per response timing to find the slow lookup. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named response, record or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring responses, records or jobs that share the same config, segment or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in detractor routing agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in detractor routing agent so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Batch routing that waits for every lookup before sending any alert lets one slow account consume the whole timeout while urgent detractors sit unsent.

How to fix - agent timed out when agent tried to route a detractor response to the account owner error timeout failure slow

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in detractor routing agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: detractor routing agent at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

Edge cases: if the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different record, treat that record as a second instance of the same class, apply the same fix per record, and keep the verified records separate from the still failing ones.

TL;DR

Fix this in detractor routing agent by acting on the exact problem first: batch owner lookups instead of one call per response, honour the retry delay the API returns, queue detractor alerts during the limit window, and replay the queue in order once quota recovers so no low score waits unnoticed. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

Per response API calls for lookup and notification burn quota at response speed, and the limit lands mid queue with the most urgent detractors still unrouted.

TL;DR

Fix this in detractor routing agent by acting on the exact problem first: route on a compact account summary of owner, tier and open cases only, keep full history on disk for lookup when a case needs it, and never load the entire history into the routing step. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

Full account histories dwarf the routing decision, which needs only the owner and a few current facts, so loading everything overflows context before routing happens.
