# A connection isn't working

Madison flags any connection that needs attention in **Settings → Integrations**, and alerts your Owner and Admins by email (and text, if enabled) when one drops. Once it's healthy again, syncing resumes automatically.

## Reconnect

Go to **Settings → Integrations**, find the account, and select **Connect** to re-authorise it.

Some integrations connect by invite rather than a sign-in. For those, first check that Madison's email address still has access on the provider. If it does and the connection is still unhealthy, email <support@meetmadison.ai> so the Madison team can help restore it. See [Connect your integrations](/getting-started/connect-your-integrations.md).

## Common warnings and how to fix them

| Warning                                | Fix                                                            |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Facebook Page has no messaging enabled | Turn on messaging for the Page                                 |
| Instagram isn't a Business account     | Switch it to a Business/Professional account in Instagram      |
| Missing permissions                    | Reconnect and approve **all** the permissions Madison asks for |
| Google listing not verified            | [Verify your listing](/troubleshooting/cant-verify-listing.md) |

## Facebook and Instagram keep dropping

Facebook and Instagram connect together through **Meta**. If the connection keeps dropping, you're likely on the **backup Facebook connection**, which needs reconnecting more often. Reconnecting through **Meta Business Suite** gives a longer-lasting connection. See [Connect your integrations](/getting-started/connect-your-integrations.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.meetmadison.ai/troubleshooting/connection-not-working.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
