You are using an ETL tool (such as the Salesforce Dataloader) to import / update records in Salesforce, and encounter the following error: E2CP.AutocreateContacts: System.LimitException: Apex CPU time limit exceeded.

This error often occurs when there is a large amount of local automation running during a data import / update. To avoid this error, we recommend trying the following steps.

1. Temporarily turn off all settings associated with the Auto-Add New Contacts feature and re-attempt the import / update.

2. If you experience the same error even with the Auto-Add New Contacts settings disabled, try adjusting the batch size in your ETL tool to process a smaller number of records per batch. (For example, if your batch size is set to 200, try adjusting it to 50 and re-attempt the import / update.)

If you're using the Salesforce Dataloader as your ETL tool, please refer to the following Salesforce Documentation for information on how to adjust your batch size.


If you still experience an error after trying both of the above-mentioned options, please reach out to Internet Creations support by sending an email to e2cpremium@internetcreations.com.
