The AI did not reply

Silence is always deliberate and always logged. Open the lead, look at the timeline, and find the line that starts "AI stayed silent" — the reason next to it maps to the table below.

Reasons and fixes

What the timeline saysWhat to do
your email is not confirmed yet — open the sign-in link we sent youOpen the sign-in link we emailed you when you signed up. The banner at the top of the dashboard can send it again.
the account is stopped over billing — replies are stopped for every business; see BillingReplies are stopped for every business until the open invoice is paid. Pay it in Billing with “Pay the open invoice” — with a new card if the old one was declined.
the marketplace connection is broken — reconnect it on the Sources pageThe marketplace no longer accepts our connection. Reconnect it on the Sources page.
business is pausedEnable the business in Settings.
business profile is emptyOnly older leads show this: an empty profile no longer stops replies. Nothing to do.
auto-reply is off for this leadTurn it back on from the lead page.
AI reply limit reachedThe AI has used its answers for this lead. Reply yourself, or raise the limit in Settings.
inside quiet hoursExpected. It will reply when the window ends, or narrow the window.
you replied recentlyDeliberate — it steps back after you speak. Shorten that period in Settings if you want it back sooner.
generation failedA temporary fault. It retries automatically; if it never succeeds you are notified.
a draft is waiting for your approvalNothing has been sent yet. Approve or reject it on the lead page — reminders hold off until you do.

If the lead was filtered instead

A lead marked "Filtered out" was judged spam or below your score threshold. That is a different decision from staying silent, and it is also logged with a reason. Lower your minimum score if you disagree with it.

When the customer is left waiting

If the AI runs out of replies while a customer is still asking questions, we notify you rather than leaving them hanging. That notification includes what they actually said, so you can answer without opening anything.
