Tool hack - what to do if your Insights report fails

This guide follows steps on how to use Audiense Connect to build an audience and access that audience via Insights to create an Insights report.

There are a few reasons why an Insights report can fail, which we explain in this article Why did my report fail?

If your report says it has failed or has fewer followers than you expected, this may be due to it not being fully up-to-date, or for other reasons explained in the article link above. Let us know by contacting our support team via help@audiense.com, however, in the meantime, you can try this workaround by creating an audience in Connect instead, then upload this audience to Insights.
