What do I do when a connector says "Needs reconnect"?

The tool stopped Alori's access, often after a password change. Open Connectors and click Reconnect on it. Nothing you had is lost.

"Needs reconnect" means the tool stopped letting Alori in, often after a password change or when access was removed. Open Connectors and click Reconnect on that tool. Your synced records and settings stay as they were.

Also called: reconnect, connection lost, expired, access revoked, disconnected, à reconnecter, reconnexion, connexion perdue

Step 1: Find the tool

In the menu on the left, click Connectors. The tool that needs you shows Needs reconnect under its name.

Click: Connectors

Step 2: Click Reconnect

Click Reconnect and sign in to the tool again, then allow Alori. For Apollo, paste a new API key instead. When it's back, the card says "Connected to" and the account name.

Click: Connectors › Reconnect

Good to know

  • Reconnect with the same account as before, so records stay matched and nothing is duplicated.

  • While it's not connected, that tool's work pauses: QuickBooks stops syncing, the bot can't post in Slack, and so on.

  • Gmail is separate. If your app shows "Gmail needs to be connected again", reconnect it in your app: Settings › Integrations › Gmail.

If it doesn't work

  • "… could not connect. Try again." Click Reconnect again and allow everything the tool asks for.

  • "That key didn't work. Copy it again and paste it here." (Apollo) Copy the whole key again and paste it.

  • It says "Needs reconnect" again soon after. Check that your account in that tool still has access, then reconnect. If it keeps happening, contact support.
