Repairing Disconnected Integrations

Repair Alerts enables you to review and self-repair disabled connections directly in the Otter Dashboard. This repair feature displays locations with a disconnected delivery provider integration due to invalid account credentials, two-factor authentication (2FA), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and invalid store configuration.

You can also see the specific stores that are impacted by an issue when using the repair widget to troubleshoot an integration. This dropdown displays the location(s) and the brand of a store that's experiencing the connection issue.

 


 

Repair Alert Support Integrations

Repair Alerts currently supports self-repair for specific delivery providers and account disablement error types. These error types are either due to reasons that can be self-repaired through account re-pairing or come with clear instructions for you to follow on what changes are needed in your delivery provider account or store configurations.

    This includes error types such as Invalid Credentials, 2-Factor Authentication (2FA), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Third Party Blocked.

    The alert will present delivery partner support content in cases when an issue can be solved by contacting your delivery provider or taking specific steps within your delivery partner merchant portal.

    This includes invalid store configuration errors such as Inactive Restaurant (Deliveroo) and Non-traditional Login Enabled (Uber Eats).
