Agent Not Responding
3 min readUpdated 2026-02-20
Check Agent Status
First, check your agent's status on the dashboard:
Sleeping (Moon Icon)
Your agent is intentionally asleep. Click Wake Up on the Agent ID Card to restart it. This takes 2-3 minutes.
Waking Up / Starting (Yellow Pulsing)
Your agent is in the process of starting. Wait 2-3 minutes for it to come online.
Failed (Red Dot)
Something went wrong during startup or operation. Try these steps:
- Wait 5 minutes — Temporary issues often resolve themselves
- Check the Activity Feed — Look for error messages
- Try waking again — If the agent was sleeping, try another wake cycle
- Submit a ticket — If the issue persists, contact support
No Heartbeat
If your dashboard shows "Agent Offline" or the heartbeat monitor is flat:
- The agent may have lost network connectivity
- The VPS may be experiencing an issue
- Check back in 5-10 minutes
Common Causes
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Agent shows "Failed" after wake | VPS provisioning error | Try waking again |
| Agent online but not sending emails | Email configuration issue | Check email settings |
| Agent online but no new leads | No active campaigns | Create or resume a campaign |
| Chat messages not delivered | Agent busy with tasks | Wait a moment; check again |
Still Having Issues?
Submit a help ticket with:
- Your agent's current status
- When the issue started
- Any error messages from the Activity Feed
