Sends with an unknown outcome
What they mean, and why you must not simply retry them.
What it is
A message where the system started sending but could not establish what happened — usually because the connection dropped part-way.
Why use it
You need to understand this one, because handling it wrongly sends somebody the same message twice.
Example
A text was handed to the provider, then the connection failed before a confirmation came back. It may have gone. It may not.
Steps
- Open the sequence list and read Scheduler health.
- Check with your email or SMS provider whether the message actually went.
- Only then decide whether to send again.
What happens next
These are shown separately from failed sends on purpose. A failure can safely be retried. An unknown outcome cannot — the system will not retry one automatically, and neither should you without checking.
Common problems
- Can I just retry them all?
- No. Some may already have been delivered, and retrying sends them twice.
