However, sometimes you may face connection problems due to various reasons like permission issues, expired tokens, network restrictions, or platform-specific settings. This guide covers **common connection issues** across all supported platforms and provides **practical troubleshooting steps** to help you get back on track quickly. ## **General Troubleshooting Checklist for All Platforms** Before diving into platform-specific issues, always check these common factors first: | **Problem** | **Solution** | | --- | --- | | **Internet Issues** | Ensure your internet connection is stable and not behind a firewall or VPN blocking social media APIs. | | **Token Expiry** | Tokens for platforms like Facebook and Instagram can expire. Re-login or reauthorize your account if you suspect token expiry. | | **Permissions Missing** | Make sure all necessary permissions (Page Management, Message Access, etc.) were granted during integration. | | **API Limitations** | Some platforms have daily or hourly API limits. Exceeding limits can cause connection errors. | | **Browser Issues** | Clear your browser cache or try connecting via an Incognito/Private window. Try Ctrl+F5 for a hard refresh, your issue may resolve. | | **Account Sync Issue** | Sometimes accounts may not have properly connected yet showing on the dashboard. Try sync for solving it. If not resolved, reconnect it. (N.B: Reconnecting the account will eradicated your account history) | | **Multiple Admins** | If multiple admins are managing the account, make sure you have full access rights. | | **Platform Policy Changes** | Check if there are any updates from WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, or Telegram regarding new policy restrictions. | ## **WhatsApp Connection Issues** **Common Issues:** - Bot not responding or not delivering messages - Error 131026: Message Undeliverable - Template message errors - Webhook setup problems **Solutions:** - **Verify Number Registration**: Ensure the WhatsApp number is properly registered with WhatsApp Business API. - **Webhook Activation**: Make sure the webhook URL is verified and subscribed to all required events. - **Template Message Approval**: For any proactive messaging, approved templates must be used.
