Common problems
Section titled “Common problems”I can only write a note, not a reply
The line next to Note tells you why. Most often the conversation is assigned to someone else, is snoozed or resolved, or the AI agent is still answering. Do what the line says (for example Reopen or Take over), and Reply becomes available.
The file won’t attach
Check the size (100 MB at most), the count (10 per message) and the file type. Your workspace may not accept that type of file.
