Salesforce API rate limit hit mid brief build when agent enriched 40 meeting attendees

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in Salesforce API during brief build by acting on the exact message first: switch attendee enrichment to bulk Salesforce queries that return many contacts per call, pace the remaining calls under the daily limit, save each enriched attendee immediately, and finish the brief from saved results when the limit is reached. 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.

Salesforce API rate limit hit mid brief build when agent enriched 40 meeting attendees

Use this when

• The operation in Salesforce API during brief build fails with this exact message: Salesforce API rate limit hit mid brief build when agent enriched 40 meeting attendees.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A call, review or send 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 Salesforce API during brief build, and copy the full message plus the account, contact or meeting 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: switch attendee enrichment to bulk Salesforce queries that return many contacts per call, pace the remaining calls under the daily limit, save each enriched attendee immediately, and finish the brief from saved results when the limit is reached. Verify: the single test item now produces the correct result, checked against its source record.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, source or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in Salesforce API during brief build 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.
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

Forty attendees enriched with several calls each multiplies into hundreds of API calls inside one brief build, so the limit arrives part way through and unsaved enrichment is lost.
