# Why is nothing sending after I add a row?

Wait 1 to 2 minutes (automations are not instant). Then check: the connection is Active, the send toggle is on, row 1 still has headers, the mobile column is filled, you added a new row (not an edit), and Recent Activity or the status column for errors. Also confirm you have credits and a valid Sender ID or approved template.
