Troubleshooting Connection Issues
Common Problems and Solutions
Connection Shows as “Error”
Possible Causes:
- Website URL is no longer accessible
- Domain configuration is incorrect
- Authentication credentials have changed
Solutions:
- Test the URL in a browser to ensure it’s accessible

Agent Not Responding
Possible Causes:
- Connection is inactive
- Agent is not properly linked to connection
- Domain restrictions are blocking access
Solutions:
- Check connection status - ensure it’s active
- Verify agent configuration - make sure it’s linked to the connection
- Review domain settings - ensure your domain is allowed
- Test in playground - verify the agent works there
Possible Causes:
- Integration is not properly configured
- Domain restrictions are blocking the widget
- Website code is not correctly implemented
Solutions:
- Check integration settings - ensure it’s linked to the correct connection
- Verify domain configuration - make sure your domain is allowed
- Review website code - ensure the integration code is correctly placed
- Test on different pages - verify it works across your site
