If the Profile is missing when an event Activity is triggered, what should be done first?

When a Profile is missing at the time an event Activity is triggered, the most appropriate first step is to set up a journey that does not immediately rely on the profile. This approach allows for continuity in the journey's execution without being held up by the absence of profile data. By designing the journey in such a way, you can ensure that other activities or events within that journey can still function and continue to engage with the user, even if specific personal data is not available at that moment.

This option allows for flexibility and ensures that users who might not have all data captured can still move through the experience, rather than being stalled. It’s a proactive approach that values the overall experience rather than getting caught up in missing information, which is essential in maintaining user engagement and satisfaction.

The other options do not prioritize keeping the journey flowing in the absence of the Profile. Modifying the event Activity settings or consulting API documentation may be useful for troubleshooting or future planning, but they do not address the immediate need to maintain operations within the journey effectively.
