A routine didn't run

Every run state a routine can report, and which ones need you to do something.

Open the Routine. Its Deliveries tab says what happened, and most of the states do not need anything from you.

Routine page “Competitor watch”: “Active”, “Settings”, “Run now”, and an empty “Deliveries (0)” tab, “Nothing delivered yet”

​

Out of credits

The most common one. A routine that comes due with no credits does not run.

​

It tries again on its next schedule, so new credits fix it without you touching the routine. Until then Vamos emails you about it, at most once a day for each workspace. Routines stay on when a plan ends, so turn off any you no longer want. See Running low on credits.

​

​

It was off when it was due

Paused at the moment it was scheduled. That slot is skipped and not backfilled. Resume it and the next one runs.

​

​

It finished without producing anything

The run completed but there was nothing to report. Usually a prompt asking about a window where nothing happened, which is common on a daily cadence asking a weekly question.

​

If it keeps happening, widen the cadence or the prompt rather than waiting. Each of those runs still uses credits.

​

​

We couldn't write this one

Generation failed. It says so and retries on the next schedule.

​

A run that fails is not charged.

​

​

Interrupted

The run was stopped partway. Same handling: not charged if it produced nothing, and retried next time.

​

​

Running now

It is working. Long research routines take a few minutes.

​

​

It ran but no email came

The result is in the app either way, on the Routines page and on the New chat page.

​

Vamos says when a provider blocked the delivery. Check the Email switch under the routine's Settings is on, and check any addresses you asked Vamos to add in chat, because a typo in one fails silently.

​

​

It is not running at all and shows no history

Check it is not paused, and check the schedule. A routine set to a day and time that has not come round yet says when the next run is.

​

Also check the limit. Your plan allows a set number of active routines, and at the limit a new one is not created. Upgrade your plan, or turn off an existing routine to add a new one. The counter on the page shows where you are.

​

Still wrong

Send us the routine name, the workspace, and when you expected it.
