Troubleshooting & Operational Edge Cases
Issue: Homecare Homebase (HCHB) shows "Sandbox Mode" instead of "Live API Verified"
Operational Resolution: This means Homecare Homebase (HCHB) was connected without an API key. While Sandbox Mode lets you upload CSV/JSON files and test "+ Add Data" immediately, to enable live API calls open Homecare Homebase (HCHB) > "Manage Data & Sync" > "API Key" tab, paste your Homecare Homebase (HCHB) token and Account/Subdomain ID, and click "Save & Verify API Key".
Issue: Timesheet, candidate, or payroll batch rejected by Homecare Homebase (HCHB)
Operational Resolution: Check that all records in the batch have matching identifiers or email addresses in Homecare Homebase (HCHB), or use the "Download CSV Batch" button in the "Export (Data Out)" tab for direct file import into Homecare Homebase (HCHB).
Issue: Where do my imported records from Homecare Homebase (HCHB) appear?
Operational Resolution: Imported records from Homecare Homebase (HCHB) are saved directly into Master Shift Schedule & Staff Roster. Click the "Master Shift Schedule" link inside the "Import (Data In)" tab or navigate to /portal/scheduling in the left sidebar.
