Getting Help & Troubleshooting
When something in Brixi doesn't behave as expected, the cause is usually one of a handful of things: filters, permissions, sync status, missing consent, or incomplete record data. You can rule most of these out yourself in minutes — and when you can't, this page tells you who to ask and what to include.
Admin or Support? The One Rule
Anything your organization controls goes to your manager or admin first — permissions, assignments, missing buttons or pages, templates, channel connections, and workspace settings. If you can't see something this documentation describes, that's almost always role access, not a bug, and your admin can often fix it on the spot.
Take it to Brixi support once your admin confirms the setup is correct and the problem persists — a record that won't save, data that contradicts itself, a connected channel that stops delivering. Fill in the handoff checklist below; a complete first message usually saves a full round trip of follow-up questions.

- Refresh the page or reopen the mobile app.
- Confirm your internet connection is stable.
- Check whether a filter or saved view is hiding the item.
- Confirm your role and permissions with an admin.
- Try again after signing out and signing back in.
- Check whether the same issue happens for another user with similar access.
- Capture the page URL, record name, and time before contacting support.
Common Issues
Cannot Sign In
Check that you are using the correct login method for your workspace. Some teams use email and password, some use phone OTP, and some require Google, Microsoft, or multi-factor verification.
| Check | What to do |
|---|---|
| Wrong email or phone | Confirm the exact email or phone number your admin invited. |
| Password issue | Use the approved reset flow or ask your admin to resend access. |
| OTP issue | Wait for the resend timer, check the correct device or inbox, and confirm phone or email spelling. |
| MFA issue | Use the configured verification method or ask your admin to review your account. |
| Account inactive | Ask your admin to confirm your user status and role. |
Lead, Contact, or Deal Is Missing
Missing records are often caused by ownership, team visibility, filters, or duplicate records.
- Clear filters and saved views.
- Search by phone, email, name, and alternate spelling.
- Check whether the record is assigned to another owner or team.
- Ask a manager to confirm whether you should have access.
- Check whether the record was merged, archived, reassigned, or imported with different details.

Notification Did Not Arrive
Notifications depend on browser permission, mobile permission, channel setup, assignment rules, and user preferences.
| Location | What to check |
|---|---|
| Browser | Site notification permission, active login, muted browser settings. |
| Mobile app | App notification permission, device notification settings, logged-in account. |
| Assignment alerts | Whether the lead or task was assigned to you or your team. |
| Channel alerts | Whether the connected channel is active and synced. |
| Quiet periods | Whether your organization uses working hours or notification limits. |
Import Failed
Import issues usually come from file format, missing required columns, duplicate rows, invalid values, or mismatched field names.
Before re-uploading:
- Confirm the file format your workspace accepts.
- Remove empty rows and duplicate rows.
- Check required columns.
- Confirm phone and email formats.
- Review validation errors before attempting another import.
See Import Contacts for the full workflow.
Calendar or Channel Does Not Sync
Connected services may stop syncing when permission expires, the connected account changes password, admin access is removed, or the external service requires reconnecting.
Ask your admin to check:
- Whether the channel is still connected.
- Whether the connected account still has permission.
- Whether a reconnect is required.
- Whether recent changes are delayed or failed.
- Whether the affected user has permission to use that channel.
See Integrations for channel setup and sync health.
