Ask the help assistant first. “Why aren’t my messages going out?” — it reads your plan,
unit usage, feature flags and SMS credits and tells you if one of those is the cause. That
matters because plan limits fail silently: sending stops while incoming messages keep
arriving, so nothing on this page will reveal it. See
Diagnosing a problem.
Nothing is arriving
1
Is the channel connected?
Settings → Channels. Anything other than Connected explains it on its own. For
QR-based WhatsApp, reconnect by scanning again —
why it disconnects.
2
Does a role grant that channel?
A connected channel that no role covers delivers to nobody. Roles → the role →
Channels. This is the most common cause of “it says connected but we see nothing”.

Telegram only: the three gotchas
The customer must message the bot first; groups need Group Privacy off and the bot
re-added; channels need the bot as admin. See
Connect Telegram.
4
Is it in the group tab or filtered out?
Check the channel filter and the open/closed filter. If the channel has Ignore group
messages on, group chats never arrive at all.
I can’t send a reply
WhatsApp: outside the 24-hour window
WhatsApp: outside the 24-hour window
You may only message freely for 24 hours after the customer’s last message. Past that
you need an approved template. The composer will
tell you and offer the template picker.
The channel disconnected mid-conversation

Check its status. A message sent while disconnected fails rather than queueing forever.

You can see a conversation but not reply when your role covers the inbox but not that
channel.
