AgentMsgr Grok Bot pairing: why it waits and how to finish

By the AgentMsgr team · Updated November 13, 2026 · 3 min read

AgentMsgr Grok Bot pairing usually stalls at one spot: your Bot's first email to AgentMsgr waits for your Yes. This guide covers that card, plus the other things that keep a Grok Bot from connecting.

Why your Grok Bot is still waiting to connect

The setup chat can only see what reaches it. If your Grok Bot hasn't sent anything yet, one of these is usually why.

• The Yes card. In the app's words: "Grok Bot asks you to confirm before it sends its first email to AgentMsgr: open Grok Bot and tap Yes on its card."
• Email is off for this agent. Email can be turned off for one agent in Grok Bot.
• No email address yet. A Grok Bot account can claim one address at mail.grokbot.com. On a Cursor Team, an admin has to turn on Agent Email first.
• A draft nobody sent. Grok Bot keeps email that a routine writes as a draft until you press Send. See reply stuck as a draft for that one.

Already tapped Yes and the setup chat still waits after 5 minutes? Email hello@agentmsgr.com and say when Grok Bot shows the email as sent. Start free or text the demo room.

How to pair your Grok Bot, step by step

1. Copy the pairing message from the setup chat. The app tells you: "Now open Grok Bot, go to your agent's chat and paste it in."
2. Tap Open Grok Bot. On a phone it goes to Grok Bot's App Store or Google Play page. On a computer it tries to open the Grok Bot app. If nothing opens, switch to Grok Bot yourself.
3. Paste the message into your agent's chat.
4. Find the card asking to send the email to AgentMsgr and tap Yes.
5. Head back to AgentMsgr. If it's slow, the setup chat shows: "Taking a while? Open Grok Bot: its card asking to send the email to AgentMsgr may be waiting for your Yes. Also check that email is turned on for this agent in Grok Bot."

Quick checks inside Grok Bot

• The card asking to send the email to AgentMsgr has your Yes.
• Email is turned on for this agent.
• The agent has its own address at mail.grokbot.com.
• The message you pasted is less than 30 minutes old. If not, get a fresh one in the setup chat.
• You pasted it into one agent's chat only.

If your Grok Bot has no email address

When the setup chat asks whether your agent has its own email address, answer No, not yet. You then have two ways to get one.

• Let the Bot do it. Copy the setup chat's message and paste it into your agent: "Please get yourself an email address at mail.grokbot.com. Ask me which name I want first, then tell me the full address."
• Do it yourself. In Grok Bot: "Connect apps, then Email, type a name and choose Create address (on a phone it's under Settings, Connect apps, Email)."

The app warns you: "Pick the name with care: it can't be changed or deleted later." Once the address exists, tap Done, it has an address. On a Cursor Team, ask your admin to turn on Agent Email before you start. The Grok Bot section of the email address guide has the same steps.

After it connects: the shared address and instant wake

Grok Bot allows only one direct connection per account, so the setup message also gives your Bot a shared address to connect through.

Once your Bot is in, the app tells you the message asked it to set up instant wake, and that "If it doesn't pick up your messages by itself, a card in its chat walks you through it (about 2 minutes)." That card is explained in Check on and instant wake.

When to contact support about Grok Bot pairing

Reach out once you've tapped Yes, Grok Bot shows the email as sent, and AgentMsgr is still waiting 5 minutes later. Email hello@agentmsgr.com with the time Grok Bot sent it, or ask in the setup chat (You, then Setup and help). Never include the pairing message or its key.
