What "Inactive" Means
In Nuelink, "inactive" can mean that a connected social media channel has gone inactive. This happens when the platform (such as Facebook or Instagram) revokes Nuelink's access, usually due to a password change, a permission reset, or a long period of inactivity.
Reconnect an Inactive Social Media Channel
- Go to Channels in the left sidebar of your Nuelink dashboard.
- Look for the channel that shows a warning icon, a red status, or the label "Inactive."
- Click the Reconnect button or the warning icon next to that channel.
- You will be redirected to the social media platform's authorization page. Log in with your account credentials and approve all the requested permissions. Make sure you are logged in to the account in another tab to ease the connection.
- After approving, you will be redirected back to Nuelink. The channel should now show a green Connected status.
That's it! Your channel is active again, and your posts will resume publishing on schedule.
FAQs
My account is active, but one of my channels still shows as inactive. Why?
A channel can go inactive independently of your Nuelink subscription. This usually happens when a social platform resets its permissions. Go to Channels and reconnect the specific channel following Fix 2 above.
Will I lose my scheduled posts if my account goes inactive?
Your posts and collections are saved in Nuelink and will not be deleted. Once your account or channel is reactivated, your scheduled content will be ready to go again.
I changed my social media password. Is that why my channel went inactive?
Yes. Changing your password on a social media account often revokes access for connected apps like Nuelink. Simply reconnect the channel by following Fix 2 above.
How can I prevent my channels from going inactive in the future?
Keep your Nuelink subscription active, avoid changing social media passwords too frequently, and reconnect any channels promptly when you see a warning. Nuelink will notify you when a channel needs attention.
I do not see a billing section in my account. Where is it?
The billing section is in your Account Settings, usually accessible from your profile icon in the top right corner. If you are part of a team workspace, only the workspace Owner may have access to billing settings.
Troubleshooting
I renewed my subscription, but my account still shows as inactive.
Try logging out of Nuelink and logging back in. This refreshes your account status. If the problem continues, clear your browser cache and try again, or contact Nuelink support.
I reconnected my channel, but it went inactive again within a few days.
This can happen if the social media platform repeatedly revokes access. Make sure you are approving all permissions during the reconnect process. Also, check if the account has any security restrictions or two-factor authentication settings that might be blocking the connection.
My channel says "inactive," but I can still post manually on that social media platform.
The issue is with the Nuelink-to-platform connection, not your social media account itself. Follow
Fix 2 to reconnect the channel inside Nuelink.
I see the inactive warning, but there is no reconnect button.
You may not have the right role in your workspace to reconnect channels. Ask your workspace Owner or Admin to reconnect it, or check your role permissions in Workspace Settings.
