Troubleshooting

Schedule not running

Check dango schedule status <name> for the next run time and last run status. Ensure the platform is running with dango status. Schedules only execute while dango start is active.

Missed scheduled sync

If the platform was stopped during a scheduled sync time, the missed sync runs once when the platform restarts (coalesce behavior). Check dango schedule status to confirm.

Webhook not firing

Run dango schedule webhook test <name> to verify the endpoint is reachable. Check that the webhook URL is correct and the receiving service is running.
