Doccano import failed error "JSONL file contains invalid record at line 12"

  • Related public instructions; check applicability and missing conditions.

Fixes the Doccano failure "JSONL file contains invalid record at line 12" by acting on the exact message, proving the fix on one item, then rerunning and reconciling counts. Use when this error blocks an export, review or check. Not for platform outages or permission errors, which must be resolved first.

When it applies

Not specified by the original author.

Instructions

TL;DR

Fix this in Doccano by acting on the exact message first: open the file at line 12, fix the malformed JSON on that line (unescaped quotes inside the text field are the usual cause), validate that every line parses on its own, then reimport. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

JSONL file contains invalid record at line 12

Use this when

  • The operation in Doccano fails with this exact message: JSONL file contains invalid record at line 12.
  • The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
  • A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

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

Steps

  1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in Doccano, and copy the full message plus the item, user or metric involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
  2. Apply the specific fix for this error: open the file at line 12, fix the malformed JSON on that line (unescaped quotes inside the text field are the usual cause), validate that every line parses on its own, then reimport. Verify: every line parses independently and the import count matches the line count.
  3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, ontology, baseline 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 Doccano on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
  5. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in Doccano 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 error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

JSONL needs one complete JSON object per line; one broken line aborts the import at that line.

Use this when

  • The operation in HubSpot enrichment fails with this exact message: parser failed on HubSpot enrichment export CSV for match companies to domains in a HubSpot import error parsing failure.
  • The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
  • A run, import, export or alert is blocked until this item completes.

Steps

  1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in HubSpot enrichment, and copy the full message plus the record, account or list involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named record, not only seen in a log.
  2. Apply the specific fix for this error: inspect the HubSpot export the parser rejected - check the header row, the delimiter, quoting of text fields that contain commas, and the file encoding - re-export it as clean UTF-8 with quoted text fields, and parse ten rows as a test before the full file. Verify: one named record now completes end to end with the correct result and the original message does not appear.

Why it happens

The export contained unquoted delimiters or line breaks inside text fields, or its header row changed, so rows shifted and the parser rejected the file.

Instatus subscriber import failed "invalid email format on row 14" error

  • Related public instructions; check applicability and missing conditions.

Fixes this failure: fix row 14 of the subscriber import file (and scan the whole file for the same fault) before re-importing. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

When it applies

Not specified by the original author.

Instructions

TL;DR

Fix row 14 of the subscriber import file (and scan the whole file for the same fault) before re-importing, because Instatus rejects the import on an invalid email format and will keep stopping at malformed rows. Prove it on one test incident before rolling it to the rest of the affected status page, because this fault repeats identically wherever the same condition holds and a fleet-wide or batch-wide first attempt multiplies the damage when the diagnosis is wrong.

Instatus subscriber import failed "invalid email format on row 14" error

Use this when

  • You see this exact error or symptom: Instatus subscriber import failed "invalid email format on row 14" error.
  • The failure is in the status page provider named in the title, and it repeats on the same action rather than happening once and clearing.
  • Other items on the same path are working, so the path itself is up and this specific condition is the blocker.

Not for this skill when

  • A different error code, message, or tool is involved. Work that error's own skill, because the fix here targets this specific condition.
  • The whole service or platform is down. Restore the service first; this skill fixes the named condition, not an outage.
  • You cannot identify one affected item to test on. Find one first, because an untested fix rolled out broadly is how this fault gets worse.

Steps

  1. Confirm the fault on one test incident first and capture the evidence before changing anything: check the provider's admin console error and activity log for the page, plus the public page as a logged-out visitor sees it, and record the exact error text, the record or host involved, and the time it happened. Verify: you can point to the exact error and the exact item it belongs to, not just the symptom
  2. Fix row 14 of the subscriber import file (and scan the whole file for the same fault) before re-importing, because Instatus rejects the import on an invalid email format and will keep stopping at malformed rows. Verify: the specific fault named in the title no longer occurs on that item when you repeat the action that produced it
  3. Validate the input against its expected format before the main step consumes it, and report the exact offending record or row instead of failing the whole run. Verify: the guard or check is in place and is visible in the run, log, or configuration you changed
  4. Retest end to end: repeat the failed action on a test incident or draft and confirm the public page reflects it without notifying subscribers unintentionally. Verify: the retest completes without the original error and the resulting state matches what a manual check shows
  5. Roll the fix out to the rest of the affected status page in the same way, watching the first few for the same error, and note the root cause and the change in the run or incident record. Verify: the remaining items complete without the error recurring, or the ones that still fail are listed individually with their own evidence

how to fix Instatus subscriber import failed "invalid email format

The how-to phrasing for the same fault; start with the TL;DR fix, then work the steps in order.

Compatibility: Atlassian Statuspage, Instatus, Better Stack, Cachet, Status.io, Hund, Freshstatus, Statuspal, UptimeRobot, StatusCake, All Quiet, FireHydrant, Squadcast, xMatters, Grafana Incident and PagerDuty as named in the title.

Why it happens

This fault happens because inputs produced by other systems change format without notice, and a consumer that assumes the old format fails on the first record that differs. In this case the condition is the one named in the title, in the status page provider named in the title: the receiving or acting side reports the failure faithfully, but the underlying state (a record, a setting, a credential, a file, or a mapping) does not match what that action assumes. Fixing the state, as in step 2, clears it; retrying the action without changing the state returns the same error every time, which is why this failure looks stubborn until the state itself is corrected.
