Event-stream identity detects connector event-store recreation and allows a safe cursor reset.

Set the per-chat import from 1 to 200.

Expected result and verification

The requested action completes without a permission, validation, connector or native CRM error.
The selected account or conversation shows the expected state without changing another account’s data.
Where the action creates evidence, confirm the message, native record, verification event, portal history or audit entry is present.

Security, privacy and troubleshooting checks

Never expose connector tokens, loopback ports, authentication directories or raw customer verification replies.
Use the supported Connections, Access Control, Settings and Audit Trail pages rather than editing runtime or database records directly.
If the expected control is missing, verify both native capability and per-account permission before treating it as an installation fault.
