Whether you’re a newbie just signing up for a trial or an experienced user already live, this troubleshooting FAQ will help you avoid detours.

Agent Can’t Log In: Account Permissions and Network Environment Troubleshooting

Agents being unable to log in to the web console is one of the most frequent issues. The causes usually center on account permissions, plan quotas, or network environment. The following steps help you narrow down the problem.

Check Agent Account Permissions and Plan Quotas

1. Confirm whether the agent account has been assigned: Log in to the admin console, go to “Project Settings” → “Agent Management”, and check if the agent has been added to the project with the appropriate permissions. If the agent is not assigned, a permission error will appear when logging in.
2. Whether the plan’s agent quota is full: The Standard plan supports 3 agents, the Pro plan supports 5 or 20 (check the official plan page for details). If the number of used agents exceeds the plan quota, new agents cannot log in. Admins can view the current plan and agent usage under “My Subscription”.
3. Whether the plan has expired: After the 3-day free trial expires, all features are restricted. If the page shows “Plan Expired” after logging in, you need to renew to restore access. Note: You may need to log in again after renewal.

Network Environment and Browser Compatibility

• Check network proxy: If the Telegram client works fine but the web console won’t load, try disabling the proxy or switching to a direct connection. The TG-Staff console relies on Stripe and Google services, and some proxies may block these domains.
• Browser cache and cookies: Clear browser cache and cookies, or use incognito mode to log in again. If the issue persists, try a different browser (recommended: latest Chrome or Edge).
• Firewall or corporate network: If the agent is on a corporate network, ensure that app.tg-staff.com and docs.tg-staff.com are not blocked. Contact your IT department to whitelist these domains.

Session Desynchronization: Message Delays and Agents Not Seeing New Conversations

When an agent logs in but finds no new messages in the conversation list, or sent messages are delayed, it’s usually due to session desynchronization. Don’t worry, follow these steps in order.

Browser Refresh and WebSocket Reconnection

• Manually refresh the page: The most direct fix. Click the browser refresh button or press F5, wait 10 seconds, and check if the conversation list updates.
• Check WebSocket connection status: Open browser developer tools (F12), go to the “Network” tab, and filter by type “WS” (WebSocket). If the status shows “Disconnected” or “Error”, the real-time connection is broken. Refresh the page to rebuild the WebSocket connection.
• Clear cache and restart browser: If refreshing doesn’t work, completely close the browser, clear cache data from the past hour, and log in again.

Impact of Agents Logging into Multiple Devices Simultaneously

• Avoid multi-device login: The same agent account logged into multiple devices (e.g., laptop + mobile browser) can cause abnormal session states, such as message desynchronization or automatic session transfer. It’s recommended to log in on only one device at a time.
• Force logout from other devices: In the console under “Account Settings”, click “Log out of all devices” and then log in again. This clears all abnormal session states.

Conversation Routing Not Working: Rule Configuration and Priority Check

Routing rules (round-robin or online-first) are key to improving customer service efficiency, but sometimes agents are online yet all new conversations flood to one person. The issue may lie in rule configuration.

Checklist: Conditions for Routing Rules to Take Effect

Use this checklist to inspect each item:

• Project customer service scope: In “Project Settings” → “Customer Service Scope”, confirm whether it’s “All Agents” or “Specific Agents”. If “Specific Agents” is selected, unselected agents will not receive new conversations.
• Routing type: The default is “Round-Robin”. If changed to “Online-First”, the system will prioritize agents currently online. When all agents are offline, it falls back to round-robin. Check if all agents are offline.
• Agent online status: In the console under “Agent List”, confirm that the target agent’s online status is green (online). If it shows gray (offline), ask the agent to refresh the page or log in again.
• Routing link matches the project: The routing link (magic link) is bound to a specific project. If the link points to Project A but the agent is only assigned to Project B, they won’t receive conversations.

Deeplink Redirect Failure or Attribution Failure

Deeplinks (magic links) are used for ad traffic attribution, but if the link fails to redirect or cannot capture visitor information, the entire campaign chain breaks.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check URL Parameters: The deeplink format is https://app.tg-staff.com/{code}. If the link is truncated or parameters are incorrect, the redirect may fail. When copying the link from the backend, ensure it is fully copied.
2. Browser Permissions: Some browsers block third-party redirects. Test in incognito mode, or check if the browser disables cross-domain redirects.
3. Ad Platform Redirect Chain: If the deeplink is placed on an ad platform (e.g., Facebook, Google Ads), the platform may add its own tracking parameters, modifying the original link. Use the “Final URL” or “Tracking Template” feature in the ad backend to preserve the original link.
4. Test the Redirect Flow: Before launching, click the deeplink on different devices (mobile, desktop) and different browsers to verify it redirects to the Bot and starts a session. Also, check the visit records (IP, browser info, etc.) on the “Deeplink” page in the backend.

Content Moderation False Positives or Not Taking Effect

The content moderation feature in the Professional plan monitors agent messages to prevent accidental sending of payment addresses or sensitive words. However, improper configuration can lead to false positives or missed detections.

Adjust Risk Word Configuration

• Check Risk Word Groups: In “Content Moderation” → “Risk Word Groups”, verify whether keywords are too broad. For example, if only “wallet address” is configured as a keyword, the system may match any text with a similar format. It is recommended to use full addresses or address fragments (e.g., TXXXXX format) to reduce false positives.
• Associate Groups with Projects: Each risk word group can be associated with specific projects. If a group is not associated with the agent’s project, the moderation rules will not take effect.
• Test and Adjust: Review trigger details in audit logs, including agent, conversation, trigger time, and risk word. Optimize the keyword list based on records, such as removing false positive words or switching to more precise matches.

Other Common Issues: Plans, Payments, and Bot Configuration

In addition to the above, pay attention to the following issues:

• Feature Restrictions After Plan Expiry: After the free trial expires, all features are suspended. After renewal, it usually takes 1–5 minutes to restore. If it does not resume for a long time, contact @tgstaff_robot.
• USDT Payment Delay: On-chain payments require network confirmation (usually 1–30 minutes). If not effective after 1 hour, provide the transaction hash to customer support.
• Bot Profile Edit Not Synced: After editing the Bot avatar or name in the console, Telegram may take a few minutes to sync. If not updated after 10 minutes, check if BotFather has been modified by other tools.

FAQ

Q: An agent cannot log in to the console, but the account and password are correct. What should I do?
A: First, check if the plan has expired or the agent quota is exhausted. If the plan is normal, try clearing the browser cache, disabling the proxy, or logging in with an incognito window.

Q: Why can the agent see conversations but cannot send messages?
A: The conversation may be occupied by another agent or has ended. Return to the conversation list and refresh to confirm the status is “In Progress”. If the issue persists, contact the administrator to check agent permissions.

Q: After clicking a routing link, it jumps to the Bot but nothing happens?
A: Confirm whether the Bot has a welcome message or command flow configured. The routing link only handles redirection and attribution; the Bot’s automatic replies need to be set up in the visual command flow.

Q: Content moderation always flags normal addresses. How to adjust?
A: Check if the wallet address keyword in risk word groups is too broad. It is recommended to use full addresses or address fragments, and test and adjust rules. Review trigger details in audit logs to optimize the keyword list.

Q: After USDT payment, the plan does not take effect immediately. What to do?
A: On-chain payments require network confirmation (usually 1–30 minutes). If not effective after 1 hour, contact @tgstaff_robot customer support with the transaction hash.
