Flow issues
Fix issues with Flows, agents, funnel steps, and leads
My flow is active but no leads are coming in
Check these:
- Flow status is "Active" (not Paused)
- LinkedIn or Instagram is connected in Settings → Social Integrations
- Traffic Agent is enabled in the Flow
- Sales Agent is enabled if you want DM conversations
- The first offer is configured in Conversion Agents
- Give new Flows time to ramp up gradually
The funnel shows an error
- Verify Flow hasn't been deleted
- Check serial code in URL is correct
- Try accessing in incognito mode (clears cache)
- Check the first offer in the Conversion Agents tab
- Contact support with serial code
LinkedIn or Instagram agent isn't posting
Verify:
- The account is connected in Settings → Social Integrations
- Check connection status (green checkmark)
- Open the Traffic Agents tab
- Click the agent card and check the content section
- Reconnect the account if the connection is stale
- Remember that agents ramp up gradually
Emails aren't sending to leads
Check:
- Verify SMTP configuration in Settings → Email
- Send test email to yourself first
- Check if emails are going to spam
- Verify Flow has active email sequence
- Check lead's email address is valid
- Open the Nurture Agents tab and confirm the sequence is active
Checkout or booking isn't working
- Check the first offer in the Conversion Agents tab
- For checkout, confirm payments are connected
- For booking, confirm your booking settings are complete
- Try the link yourself in incognito mode
- Contact support with the Flow and offer name if it still fails
Agents aren't generating content
- AI generation can take 20-90 seconds - be patient
- Don't refresh the page during generation
- If stuck > 2 minutes, refresh and try again
- May have hit rate limit - wait 5 minutes and retry
- Check browser console for errors
- Contact support if persistent
Leads aren't showing up
Verify:
- You're not filtering by specific Flow (check filters)
- Date range filter includes today
- Try clearing all filters
- Refresh the page
- Check if leads went to different Flow than expected
Flow links are not working
- Check the full URL is correct (including serial code)
- Clear browser cache
- Try incognito mode
- Verify Flow is Active (not Paused or Deleted)
Can't edit flow settings
- Check if Flow is currently running (may need to pause first)
- Clear browser cache
- Try different browser
- Check if you have necessary permissions
- Contact support if issue persists
Performance is slow
- Check your internet connection
- Clear browser cache
- Close other tabs/applications
- Try different browser
- Disable browser extensions (especially ad blockers)
- Platform may be experiencing high traffic (rare)
Quick flow troubleshooting guide
Flow says "active" but nothing is happening
- Check when you launched it - Agents take 24 hours to start
- Go to Flow → Traffic Agents tab and open the agent card
- Check content, promo, and sales sections
- Check LinkedIn or Instagram is still connected
- Wait 48 hours total before worrying
My funnel shows "undefined" or broken text
- You may be missing offer details
- Go to your Flow settings
- Open the Conversion Agents tab
- Check the first offer, checkout or booking step, and thank-you page
- Save and test again
People click my link but don't see the page
- Check the URL you're sharing is exactly correct
- Try the link yourself in incognito mode
- If it works for you but not them, ask them to clear cache
Form submissions not recording
- Test it yourself - use a real email you can check
- Go to Leads page - did YOUR test show up?
- If yes, other people's submissions ARE working
- If no, check SMTP settings (emails might be failing)
- Check browser console (press F12) for errors when submitting
LinkedIn posts being created but not publishing
- LinkedIn has daily limits (around 5-10 posts per day for free accounts)
- If you schedule too many, they queue up
- This is normal - they'll publish over the next few days
- Don't create multiple Flows with LinkedIn Agent or you'll hit limits faster
Email sequence stopped sending
- Check if lead unsubscribed
- Check if emails are bouncing (bad email address)
- Verify SMTP is still connected (Settings → Email → Send Test)
- Check if you hit daily send limits (usually 500/day for Gmail)
Agent keeps generating the same content
- This means it's working! Agents create variations, but themes repeat
- If you want totally different content, edit the Agent's instructions
- Go to Flow → Settings → Edit Agent → Add new instructions
Dashboard shows leads but I can't find them
- Check Leads page filters - might be filtered to wrong Flow
- Clear all filters
- Try Export All and open in Excel - they're definitely there
Can't delete a flow
- You might have an active Flow running
- Pause the Flow first
- Wait 5 minutes
- Then try Delete again
URL shortener not working
- Clients.ai doesn't have a built-in shortener
- Use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten your Flow URLs
- Or just share the full link - it works fine
Getting "rate limit exceeded" error
- You're trying to run Agents too fast
- Wait 5 minutes
- Run one Agent at a time instead of clicking them all at once
Export to CSV shows weird characters
- Your Excel might be set to wrong encoding
- Open CSV in Notepad first
- Save As → Encoding: UTF-8
- Then open in Excel
LinkedIn posts showing up at wrong time
- Time zones! Check your profile timezone
- Posts schedule in YOUR timezone, not LinkedIn's
- Go to Settings → Account → Timezone
- Set to your actual location
"something went wrong" error (generic)
- Take a screenshot of exactly when it happens
- Note what you were doing (clicking what button?)
- Try in incognito mode
- Email hi@clients.ai with screenshot and steps to reproduce
Flow works on desktop but not mobile
- Some setup screens are designed for desktop
- Share the published lead-facing link, which works on mobile
- Use desktop when editing Flow settings or funnel steps
Getting duplicate leads
- Same person entered the Flow twice? That's tracked separately
- If you want to dedupe, export to Excel
- Use "Remove Duplicates" function
- Or just know that emailing them twice won't hurt (Nurture Agents dedupe automatically)
Conversion rate shows 0% but I have leads
- Math error when you have very few visitors
- Need at least 50 clicks before conversion rate calculates properly
- Keep running the Flow!
LinkedIn connection keeps disconnecting
- LinkedIn security measures trigger this sometimes
- Reconnect LinkedIn
- Use the OAuth method (not cookies/credentials)
- Don't connect from VPN
"quota exceeded" error
- You hit your Working Hours limit
- Either wait until the next billing cycle
- Or add Working Hours from Billing
- Check Settings → Billing to see current usage
Can't upload logo to flow
- File might be too big (max 2MB)
- Resize to under 500KB
- Use PNG or JPG (not SVG)
- Try a different image editor if it keeps failing
Webhook not firing
- Check the webhook URL is exactly right
- Test it with a tool like webhook.site first
- Make sure your server can receive POST requests
- Check firewall isn't blocking Clients.ai
If you're still experiencing issues after trying these solutions, contact hi@clients.ai with:
- Your account email
- Flow ID or name
- Description of the problem
- Screenshots if applicable
- Browser and OS version
Support team typically responds within 12-24 hours.
