# Routines troubleshooting

> Diagnose and fix Delegate routine issues: routines that can't be found, missing inputs, partial failures, and scheduled runs that don't fire.

## Routine not found

**Cause 1:** It was removed, or you're looking in the wrong place.
**Solution 1:** Check the **Routines** section of the sidebar.

**Cause 2:** It was imported from a file that's no longer available.
**Solution 2:** Re-import it from the original file.

## Missing required input

**Cause 1:** A parameter wasn't provided when running it.
**Solution 1:** Fill in every prompted input.

**Cause 2:** A scheduled run has no value for a required input.
**Solution 2:**
- Set a fixed value for it.
- Or edit the routine to give it a sensible default.

## Routine failed partway through

**Cause 1:** An action in the routine couldn't complete.
**Solution 1:**
1. Check the error in the tool card.
2. Confirm any input files still exist and are accessible.

**Cause 2:** A required connection is no longer active.
**Solution 2:**
1. Reconnect it.
2. Retry.

:::tip
If it's hard to tell where it's failing, run the routine in Guided mode to see exactly where it stops.

## Scheduled routine didn't run

**Cause 1:** Delegate wasn't running at the scheduled time.
**Solution 1:** Check the machine wasn't asleep — schedules don't run while asleep.

**Cause 2:** A connection the routine depends on expired.
**Solution 2:**
1. Check its run status and history under **Scheduled routines** in the sidebar.
2. Reconnect if needed.
