Show the steps
Check what saved and what failed
- Read the result for a record identifier or wording that says the record was created.
- Locate that record and verify its current state.
- Identify the script, workflow, or saved-search dependency named in the failure, if one is provided.
- Ask the account administrator to inspect the relevant execution or access problem.
- Decide what needs to run again only after distinguishing the saved record from the failed follow-up work.
For a missing saved search, check whether the referenced search still exists and whether the import role can access it. For a generic unexpected error, collect the record type, mapping, result, and a minimal example instead of treating one documented scenario as the answer to every failure.
Do not make disabling scripts or workflow triggers a standard fix. That changes what runs during the import and can omit work the account depends on. Script and workflow execution
If that looks right
