Fix app connection problems
Troubleshoot sign-in, app access, interactive cards, and actions from connected apps.
Start in Settings → Apps and check which connection path you used. Connect your apps and Sign in directly are separate connection methods; an app you built with Nock is listed under My Apps. The right fix depends on the path and the status shown on that app’s row.
The sign-in page opened, but Nock still says it is connecting
Section titled “The sign-in page opened, but Nock still says it is connecting”Finish signing in to the app in the browser window and approve the access request. Return to Nock and wait for its connection status. If the sign-in expired or failed, start Connect or Sign in again to get a fresh session. A saved connection is not proof that the external sign-in completed.
Nock asks me to sign in to Nock
Section titled “Nock asks me to sign in to Nock”Sign in to the Nock account you want to use, then try the app connection again. If the account service is unreachable or times out, restore your network connection and retry after Nock can reach the service.
The app is connected, but Nock says agent access is off
Section titled “The app is connected, but Nock says agent access is off”Open Settings → Apps or the notch’s Apps tab and turn on that app’s Agent access switch. This lets Nock use the connection you already made; it does not require signing in again. If the connection itself has expired, reconnect it as well.
I do not see an interactive app card
Section titled “I do not see an interactive app card”Only some directly connected apps supply interactive cards. Check Settings → Apps → Official → App widgets and make sure Allow app widgets is enabled for that app. If the app does not provide a card, or its card cannot load, Nock can still show a regular answer or media card. App cards are separate from widgets you build for your Mac; see Interactive app cards and Build a widget.
The app asks me to set it up or connect my own account
Section titled “The app asks me to set it up or connect my own account”Follow the app-specific instructions shown in Settings. Some services need a connection the app owner must configure, or a separate sign-in you complete in the browser. Nock cannot complete an external account’s consent or setup on your behalf. Do not paste passwords, access codes, or provider keys into an ordinary chat message.
An action failed, or I am not sure whether it happened
Section titled “An action failed, or I am not sure whether it happened”Check the destination app before retrying a message, post, or other change. A timeout does not always mean the external service rejected the action, so retrying immediately could create a duplicate. Nock asks for approval before supported actions that send or delete; review the approval card before allowing the action.
Still having trouble
Section titled “Still having trouble”Reconnect the affected app from its own connection card, then check its status and the next request. If Nock reports a plan or usage limit, see Usage and limits and Usage troubleshooting. For per-app access controls, see Control app access and Disconnect an app.
