Most Swashi problems come from a connection that needs renewing, a safety limit doing its job, or a plan limit. This page lists common problems in the format **Problem → Why → Fix**, grouped by area.

If your problem is not listed, see the "Get more help" section at the end.

## Connections

### A social account shows "Reconnect needed" or "expired — reconnect"
- **Why:** The network's permission for Swashi has expired, or is about to (shown as "expiring soon").
- **Fix:** In **Social Studio**, click **Reconnect** and sign in to the network again. See [Connect social networks](https://swashi.io/docs/social/connect-social-networks).

### Facebook or Instagram returns no Page
- **Why:** Instagram and Facebook posting need a Facebook Page that you manage, with Instagram set up as a professional account linked to it.
- **Fix:** Create or get admin access to a Facebook Page, link your Instagram professional account to it, then click **Connect** again.

### "The network refused or cancelled the authorisation"
- **Why:** You are not an admin of the Facebook Page, or a permission the connection needs was declined.
- **Fix:** Make sure you are a Page admin and accept every requested permission when you connect again.

### "This sign-in link had expired"
- **Why:** The sign-in link is no longer valid.
- **Fix:** Click **Connect** again to start a fresh sign-in.

### An email account shows "Sync failing — reconnect"
- **Why:** Swashi cannot read the inbox for that account, so replies may be missed.
- **Fix:** Reconnect the account with a fresh App Password so replies reach your [Unified Inbox](https://swashi.io/docs/outreach/unified-inbox).

### An email account is marked "Send-only"
- **Why:** The account can send, but its inbox is not being synced.
- **Fix:** Reconnect it with an App Password to bring its replies into your Unified Inbox.

### Leads stopped syncing to Google Sheets ("SYNC PAUSED")
- **Why:** Your Google token has expired.
- **Fix:** In **Lead Generation**, click **Reconnect** to resume syncing. Sheets sync is off during the free trial. See [Export and Google Sheets](https://swashi.io/docs/leads/export-and-sheets).

### Search Console says your Google session expired
- **Why:** Google sign-in for Search Console needs renewing, or the connect link timed out.
- **Fix:** In **SEO AI Rankings**, click **Reconnect Google Account**. Sign in with the Google account that owns your Search Console property. See [Search Console](https://swashi.io/docs/seo/search-console).

### "Limit Reached" when adding a website
- **Why:** You have connected as many websites as your plan allows.
- **Fix:** Add a Website Pack for more sites, or upgrade. See [Plans and billing](https://swashi.io/docs/account/plans-and-billing).

## Email deliverability and sending

### A new mailbox sends only a few emails a day
- **Why:** New mailboxes are warmed up gradually from the day you connect them, to protect deliverability. This is expected.
- **Fix:** Nothing to fix. The account card shows the warm-up day and today's safe limit, which grows automatically. Do not try to skip warm-up. See [Deliverability and warm-up](https://swashi.io/docs/outreach/deliverability-and-warmup).

### A campaign paused on its own
- **Why:** Its bounce rate reached 5%. Daily caps are also lowered automatically when deliverability starts to slip.
- **Fix:** Check the **Deliverability** section in Reports. Remove poor-quality addresses, target leads with verified emails, and resume only once health improves. See [Verified leads](https://swashi.io/docs/leads/verified-leads).

### "Spam trigger word detected"
- **Why:** Your email contains a word that commonly triggers spam filters.
- **Fix:** Remove or rephrase the flagged word before you send.

### "Monthly send limit reached — resumes on the 1st"
- **Why:** You have used this month's outreach allowance.
- **Fix:** Wait for your quota to reset when your plan renews, or add sending capacity with an Extra Inbox or Outreach Pack.

### "Campaign limit reached"
- **Why:** Your plan allows a set number of active campaigns.
- **Fix:** Wait for a running campaign to finish, or upgrade for more active campaigns.

## Voice

### "NO CREDITS — Campaigns Paused" or "Low Balance"
- **Why:** Calls and texts draw from your Voice Credits, and your balance is empty or low.
- **Fix:** In **Voice Outreach**, click **Buy Credits** or **Top Up Now**. Credits never expire. See [Voice credits](https://swashi.io/docs/voice/voice-credits).

### "Not enough voice credits" when sending a text
- **Why:** Texts are also paid from your credits.
- **Fix:** Top up in **Voice Outreach**.

### Callers cannot book appointments
- **Why:** Appointment booking on calls is part of AI Receptionist Pro, which comes with the Growth plan.
- **Fix:** Upgrade to let callers book straight into your calendar. Also make sure your booking link is set in the receptionist settings and your [Business Brain](https://swashi.io/docs/getting-started/business-brain).

### Calendar events do not appear in Meetings Calendar
- **Why:** Google Calendar is not connected, or Swashi needs permission again.
- **Fix:** In **User Settings**, click **Connect Google Calendar** or **Reconnect Google Calendar**, and allow calendar access.

## Account and plan

### My plan still says Free after upgrading
- **Why:** The payment can take a couple of minutes to sync.
- **Fix:** Wait 2 to 3 minutes and refresh. If it has not changed after 5 minutes, contact support@swashi.io with your account email and your Stripe payment confirmation.

### "You've used all of your free signup leads"
- **Why:** The one-time 20 free leads have been used.
- **Fix:** Start the Starter trial, choose a plan, or add a Lead Pack.

### Lead export or Branding Media is locked
- **Why:** Export, Google Sheets sync and Branding Media are not available during the free trial.
- **Fix:** Choose a paid plan in **Billing**.

### "Language not saved"
- **Why:** The language change did not save, so your agents keep the previous language.
- **Fix:** Choose the language again in **Select Language** or **User Settings**. See [Languages](https://swashi.io/docs/getting-started/languages).

### The chatbot asks me to verify again
- **Why:** Bot verification lasts 30 days.
- **Fix:** Enter your Swashi email, then the 6-digit code sent to it.

### A figure shows "Not measured" or "Unavailable"
- **Why:** "Not measured" means there is not enough verified activity yet. "Unavailable" means the figure could not be loaded just now. Neither one means zero.
- **Fix:** Try again shortly. Check the **Agent Monitor** if it persists.

## Frequently asked questions

**Why does my social account say Reconnect needed?**

The network's permission for Swashi has expired or been withdrawn. Click Reconnect and sign in to the network again to restore posting.

**Why can't I connect Instagram or Facebook?**

Instagram and Facebook posting need a Facebook Page that you manage, with Instagram set up as a professional account linked to that Page. If Facebook returns no Page, set this up first and then connect again.

**Why did my campaign pause on its own?**

A campaign pauses automatically when its bounce rate reaches 5%, to protect your sender reputation. Review your list quality and mailbox health before you resume.

**My plan still says Free after I upgraded. What should I do?**

Wait 2 to 3 minutes for the payment to sync and refresh the page. If it has not updated after 5 minutes, contact support@swashi.io with your account email and your Stripe payment confirmation.

**Why are my voice campaigns paused?**

Calls and texts draw from your Voice Credits. When the wallet shows NO CREDITS — Campaigns Paused, top up your credits in Voice Outreach and campaigns can call again.
