In this video, I will guide you through troubleshooting steps to fix issues with workflows not sending out messages. I will explain how to check if the workflow is published and if there are any contacts remaining. I will also show you how to verify the time and day settings of the workflow. Additionally, I will demonstrate how to identify contacts in different events and how to fix a stuck DRIP. Watch this video to learn how to resolve contact sending issues in your workflows.

Objective of this video is to troubleshoot and resolve the issue of a workflow not sending out any messages.

  1. Check Workflow Status

    • Ensure the workflow is published.

  2. Verify Contacts

    • Look for the number of contacts in the daily drip.

    • verify contacts have a phone number

    • If there are no contacts there that means you all contacts that have been added have been sent at least the initial message.

  3. Review Timing Settings

    • Confirm if the current time and day align with the workflow settings.

    • Check for any incorrect settings that might prevent contacts from being sent out. Such as the day of the week or time.

  4. Save Changes

    • Always save any adjustments made to the workflow settings.

  5. Identifying Contacts in Events

    • Each box represents an event, with the number indicating the contacts waiting.

  6. Resolving Stuck Drips

    • If contacts are stuck in a drip, create a new drip with the same settings.

    • Adjust the settings if needed, considering the current time and day.

  1. Moving Contacts

    • Move contacts to the next step by clicking on the number of contacts and selecting "Move all to the next step."

    • Delete the completed step to maintain workflow efficiency.

      1. Finalizing Workflow

        • Delete unnecessary steps to streamline the workflow.

        • Ensure all contacts are moving through the workflow smoothly.
