Product screenshot showing draft queues, review controls, and send states. Use this page when an Ergo email draft fails validation, cannot be sent, does not schedule, or remains in the failed-drafts queue.

Symptoms

  • A draft fails to send, schedule, unschedule, or retry.
  • The failed-drafts queue shows validation errors.
  • A scheduled or immediate send does not complete.
  • A reply draft is missing thread context or sender identity.

Most common causes

  • Sender email, recipients, subject, or body is missing or invalid.
  • Email grant is disconnected, expired, or connected to the wrong mailbox.
  • A reply-thread draft is missing thread context.
  • Attachments, links, images, body formatting, or provider policy caused rejection.
  • The draft was changed after generation and no longer passes validation.

What to check

  • Open the failed draft and fix sender, recipients, subject, and body errors.
  • Confirm the connected mailbox matches the sender on the draft.
  • Reconnect email if the grant is stale, expired, or disconnected.
  • For reply drafts, confirm the thread/history context is still available.
  • Retry from the failed-drafts queue after validation passes.

Resolution steps

  • Fix draft validation first; retrying with the same invalid fields will keep failing.
  • Reconnect email only when the mailbox or grant is the likely failure source.
  • If several drafts fail together, pause bulk sends and test one corrected draft.
  • If a scheduled send fails, verify the draft is still editable and the scheduled time/state is valid.

When to contact support

  • Contact support when validation is fixed, email is connected, and one corrected draft still fails.
  • Include the workspace, affected user, draft ID, sender, failure state, workflow type, and approximate time window.
  • Keep examples generalized and avoid sharing sensitive customer content in support requests.
