Good to know

Common reasons a nudge is held back:

  • You were dialing or You were on the dialer: you had already started, so no nudge was needed.
  • You did follow ups: a Follow ups alarm saw you had already done the work.
  • You skipped today or Snoozed.
  • Alarm turned off or This alarm is off.
  • Quiet hours or Too late to send: nudges never go out between 10 PM and 7 AM.
  • No channels on or No channel could send: switch on a channel, or fix the one that failed, under How to reach you.
  • Account not active.
