Troubleshooting.

The most common symptoms, with the fixes that resolve them on the first try.

”I imported but nothing’s happening”

  • Check the Sequences table — newly imported prospects may still be in pending_research (status visible in detail drawer)
  • Refresh after a few minutes — research takes 30–60s per prospect
  • Check Plan & Usage header — if you’re at the import cap (750/mo), new imports are partially skipped. The import response counts skippedImportCap.

”AI sequences are generic / weak”

  • Fill in company_url on import — it’s the strongest research anchor
  • Set your brand voice in Settings → Reputation AI → Brand voice if you run Reputation AI; otherwise it’s learned from the sequences you approve (it carries across products)
  • Try a sequence template instead of AI mode for predictable copy
  • Approved sequences feed back into your brand voice — the more you use the system, the better it gets at sounding like you

”Email failed to send”

  • Open the sequence detail drawer; look at the failed step’s last_error
  • Common errors:
    • “Daily user-quota exceeded” — you hit Gmail’s daily cap. Wait for reset.
    • “Invalid grant” / “Token expired” — the Email Provider card now shows a Reconnect banner when this happens; click it to re-authorize (no manual disconnect needed)
    • “Recipient address rejected” — bounce; check the email is real
    • “Suppressed” — recipient is on the suppression list
  • Click Retry on the failed step after fixing the cause

”I’m not getting replies tracked”

  • For Gmail — if the connected account is missing a required permission (e.g. Gmail Read), the Email Provider card shows a Re-authorize banner naming the permission; click it instead of redoing OAuth by hand
  • For Microsoft 365 — confirm the subscription is renewing — daily cron handles this; if it failed, the dashboard shows a warning
  • Replies go through classification within ~1 minute. Sometimes legit replies get classified as out_of_office if they’re terse — review the drawer to see classification confidence.

”Cap shows wrong number”

  • The cap displayed is the count of sequences moved to approved status, not imported prospects
  • Period rollover happens on your monthly billing date — check Stripe for your renewal day
  • If you’re a comped/founding customer, the period start may have been set manually — email support to verify

”I want to send more than 50/day”

  • Standard plan is rate-limited at 50/day on shared sending. There’s no toggle to increase this.
  • For higher throughput → dedicated mailbox: hello@tenloai.com

”My CRM didn’t get updated”

  • HubSpot: if the token expired or a scope changed, the HubSpot card shows a Reconnect / Re-authorize banner — click it. (A transient provider error shows a “we’ll retry” notice instead, so you’re not sent to reconnect when it wouldn’t help.)
  • Pipedrive: API tokens are tied to a user account — if that user was removed at Pipedrive, you’ll need a new token (this cause is external to Tenlo; generate a fresh token from someone with permanent access)
  • Note that deal-status sync isn’t bidirectional — pausing a sequence doesn’t move the deal

”I clicked Approve but nothing sends”

  • Open the sequence drawer; Step 1 should show queued or sending
  • Check the Email Provider card — if the provider is disconnected or its token expired, the card shows a Reconnect banner
  • Check your Business mailing address — if it’s missing or rejected as placeholder, the CASL render-time gate blocks every send (you’ll see an error in the failed step’s last_error)
  • Check daily cap — if you’re at 50/50 today, sends queue for tomorrow

”My import got blocked at preview”

  • Quebec rows are auto-rejected today — see Importing prospects
  • Global abuse-list rows (prior complaints or hard bounces across Tenlo) are auto-rejected
  • Per-business suppressions you’ve accumulated are excluded
  • If your selected consent basis has a time window (e.g. EBR = 24 months) and last_interaction_date is older, those rows are also dropped — change the basis or update the dates

”Where do I set my mailing address?”

Settings → Account → Business mailing address card. It’s a global setting, not buried inside Sales Outreach. Step 1 of the onboarding checklist links to it. Without it, P02 sends won’t fire (CASL §6(2) requirement).

Anything else

hello@tenloai.com — Mon–Fri 9am–5pm EST, 1 business day response.
