## **🛠️ Common failure modes and fixes**

### **🔑 Authentication error — connector marked invalid**

Click **Reconnect** and complete Webflow provider sign-in in the new tab. If the provider sign-in was cancelled or expired, start the reconnect flow again and wait for the connection status to update.

### **📁 Missing collection — publish fails immediately**

Edit the connector and select a valid Webflow collection before publishing. Confirm that the collection still exists in Webflow.

### **🧩 Custom field schema mismatch — publish fails**

Make sure the Webflow collection fields match the connector mapping. If fields were renamed, removed, or retyped, update the mapping and republish.

### **⏳ Rate limit — publish hangs or times out**

Search Atlas retries temporary Webflow rate-limit errors automatically. Wait 5–10 minutes and check the publish status. If the job remains pending, reconnect the connector and retry.

### **🖼️ Featured image missing**

Confirm the source image is accessible, then re-upload it in Content Genius and republish.

If the connector still fails after reconnecting, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type **human teammate**.
