Error message

Connector creator member not found.

What it means

Thrown when the connector instance's `createdByOrgMembershipId` does not match any active row in MemberTable (query filters `isNull(MemberTable.removedAt)`). The member who created the connector either never existed, was removed from the organization, or the membership id is wrong. Emitted as a 404 PluginArchRouteFailure named member_not_found.

Solutions

1. Re-assign the connector instance to an active membership: update the createdByOrgMembershipId to a current active member.
2. Confirm the membership row exists and has removedAt IS NULL: SELECT * FROM member WHERE id = '<membershipId>'.
3. If the creator was removed intentionally, migrate connector ownership in a data migration rather than leaving stale ids.

Example fix

// before
await resolveConnectorActor({ connectorInstanceId }) // creator removed from org -> 404
// after
const activeMember = await db.select().from(MemberTable).where(and(eq(MemberTable.organizationId, orgId), isNull(MemberTable.removedAt))).limit(1)
await db.update(ConnectorInstanceTable).set({ createdByOrgMembershipId: activeMember[0].id }).where(eq(ConnectorInstanceTable.id, connectorInstanceId))
await resolveConnectorActor({ connectorInstanceId })

const member = await db.select().from(MemberTable).where(and(eq(MemberTable.id, instance.createdByOrgMembershipId), isNull(MemberTable.removedAt))).limit(1)
if (!member[0]) throw new Error('Creator membership inactive or missing; reassign before resolving')

function isActiveMember(row: MemberRow | undefined): row is MemberRow & { removedAt: null } { return row !== undefined && row.removedAt === null }

try {
  await resolveConnectorActor({ connectorInstanceId })
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof PluginArchRouteFailure && e.code === 'member_not_found') {
    await reassignConnectorCreator(connectorInstanceId, pickActiveAdminMember())
  } else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: Resolving a connector instance whose creator membership was soft-removed (removedAt set), whose createdByOrgMembershipId is null/garbage, or resolving after the creator was deleted from the org.

Common situations: A creator left the org or was removed by an admin, breaking automation that still resolves the connector by creator membership; importing data from another environment with mismatched membership ids.
