Unable to complete Get Started with Sales Email Prompt Templates, I have created the Sales Email Prompt Template. But throwing this issue
Hi @Saisri Gajula and @Andreea Ionescu
Things to verify in the Playground, in order of likelihood- Connected org. The checker only inspects the org connected to your Trailhead account. In the Verify Step section at the bottom of the unit, click your Playground name and check that it says it's connected. If you built the template in a different org (a Developer Edition or an older Playground), the checker will never see it. The unit says to connect the org first, so the "Connect Org" step is easy to skip.
- Same Playground for prerequisites. The unit expects Einstein for Sales to be enabled and the Guest Events tab to exist. The Guest Event object comes from the earlier steps in this path. If you're in a fresh Playground that skipped them, the template can look right but fail validation.
- Exact template settings.
- Type: Sales Email
- Name: Welcome Guest
- API name: Welcome_Guest
- Related Object: Guest Event
- Activation. The error says "active". In Prompt Builder, open the template and make sure a version is Activated, not just saved. A saved draft isn't enough.
- Prompt body. The unit expects the sender name, phone and email merge fields, plus the check-in welcome instructions, saved in the version you activate.
Practical options if all of that checks out
- Check the expiry. Your screenshot shows the Playground expiring 8 Oct 2026, 5:30 AM IST, which is about two days away. If the checker still fails after you've confirmed the points above, request a new Playground and redo the earlier steps in that one. Creating the template again in a new Playground has worked for some people.
- Open a Trailhead Help case. If it still fails on a clean Playground, report it to Trailhead Help with the screenshot and your Playground details. A validation bug can't be fixed from your side. Replying in the community thread to say you hit the same error also helps surface it.
