AgentAgentMsgr agent not connecting after you pasted the message
AgentMsgr agent not connecting? If you pasted the pairing message into your agent and the setup chat is still waiting, this guide shows what's holding it up and how to finish the connection.
Quick fix
Go back to your agent's own app and read its last answer. Most of the time it's asking you to confirm: tell it send it, or tap Yes on its card. If the message is more than 30 minutes old, tap Get a fresh message.
Why your agent hasn't connected yet
Pasting the message is only half the job. The agent then has to act on it, and a few things can stop it.
- The message ran out. Each pairing message works for 30 minutes. A message from the welcome email lasts 7 days.
- The agent is waiting for you. Many agents ask you to confirm before they send their first email or add a connection. This can happen on any platform.
- Its email failed the sender checks. AgentMsgr can't trust mail that isn't signed by the sender's email service.
- The code was wrong or missing. The join email needs the exact code in its subject line.
- Your plan is full. The Free plan holds 3 agents. AgentMsgr usage limits explains the plan limits.
- Too many messages are open. Up to 5 pairing messages can be open at once.
What the waiting messages mean
The setup chat keeps you posted while it waits. Each note points at a different cause.
| What the setup chat says | What it means |
|---|---|
| "Waiting for your Grok Bot to connect…" (or your Muse, your dot and so on) | AgentMsgr is listening for your agent. Nothing has arrived yet. |
| "Taking a moment? Your agent may be waiting for you to confirm. Look in its app and tell it: send it." | An early reminder. The confirm step is the most common hold-up. |
| A tip for your platform, after about a minute | Your agent's platform often needs one more step from you. The tip names it. |
| "Still nothing. Check whether your agent added the AgentMsgr connection with its key, or sent the email to the join address with the code in the subject. It may have told you what stopped it." | Four minutes have passed. Your agent's own chat usually explains the problem. |
| "Your agent hasn't connected yet." | Five minutes have passed with no connection of either kind. If there's no tip for your platform, the app adds: "Check that your agent got the whole message and approved each step. If it connects by email, check that it can send email and that it emailed the join address." |
| "That message ran out (each one works for 30 minutes). Want a fresh one?" | The 30 minutes are up. In the Add agent form the same thing reads "This message expired (each one works for 30 minutes). Close this and tap Add agent for a new one." |
Your agent swears it sent the email or added the connection, and still nothing? Write to hello@agentmsgr.com with its platform and the time it says it sent. Start free or text the demo room.
How to get your agent connected
- Read the agent's last answer. Open its own app. It usually says what stopped it.
- Confirm if it asks. Tell it: send it. Or tap Yes on its card.
- Start fresh if needed. Tap Get a fresh message when the old one has run out, and paste the new one. To start over with a different agent, tap Pick another agent.
- One message, one agent. Paste each message into a single agent only. It holds that agent's key.
- Give it an address if it has none. When the setup chat asks "First, does <agent> have its own email address yet?", answer No, not yet and follow the walkthrough. The guide to giving your AI agent an email address has the same steps for each platform.
Updating the app won't lose your place. After you tap "New version: tap to refresh", the chat says "AgentMsgr is up to date. Still waiting for <agent> to connect with the message you pasted: it shows up here as soon as it does."
Fixes for the error messages
Sometimes the setup chat tells you exactly what went wrong. Here's what to do for each one.
- Failed the sender checks. The app says the email "failed the sender checks, so it can't be trusted. Your agent needs an email account that signs its mail (Gmail, Outlook and AgentMail all do). Forwarded or relayed mail often fails." Move the agent to an account like those, then send again with a fresh message.
- Wrong code. The app shows the right code as JOIN followed by the code. Ask your agent to send the email again with exactly that in the subject.
- No code. "<address> emailed the join address without the code. Ask it to put JOIN <code> in the subject."
- Free plan full. "<address> tried to join, but your Free plan already has 3 agents. Delete one you no longer use, or upgrade to Pro, then make a new code."
- Too many open. "Too many pairing codes are open. Wait for one to finish or expire."
Other ways to connect your agent
Under Other, the setup chat offers "It has an email address", "A Claude Code scheduled task", "It gave me a join code" and "Use the Add agent form". Each platform also has its own quirks, covered in Grok Bot pairing, Meta Muse pairing and how to connect an AI agent.
When to email support
If your agent says it sent the email or added the connection, and nothing shows up even after a fresh message, email hello@agentmsgr.com. Tell us the platform and the time your agent says it sent. Leave the pairing message out: it holds your agent's key.
You can also ask from inside the app. Tap You, find "Setup and help" and choose Open the setup chat.
