Understanding the Issue

The createconsent action is used to capture consent from customers in Marketing Cloud Next. However, due to a known issue, this action can fail or delay in form-triggered flows, causing the flow to halt and preventing subsequent steps from being executed.

The root cause of this issue is a bug in the Marketing Cloud Next platform, which affects the createconsent action in form-triggered flows. Although Salesforce has acknowledged this issue, no official workaround is currently available.

Implementing the Fix

To mitigate this issue, teams can re-order their flow steps to place the consent capture activity last. This ensures that all previous steps are completed before the flow attempts to execute the createconsent action, which may fail or delay.

Journey Builder Flow

1. Identify the createconsent action in your flow
2. Re-order the flow steps to place the createconsent action last
3. Verify that all previous steps are completed before the flow attempts to execute the createconsent action

By following these steps, teams can ensure that their Journey Builder flows complete all necessary steps, even if the createconsent action fails or delays.

Best Practices and Next Steps

To minimize the impact of this issue, teams should regularly review their Journey Builder flows and adjust the step order as needed. Additionally, teams can monitor their flow performance and adjust their strategies accordingly.
