Troubleshooting

An invite link doesn't work

• “Invite expired” — links last 7 days. Ask for a new one.
• “Invite already used” — each link works for one person. The inviter can generate a fresh link.
• “Invite revoked” or “Invite not found” — the link was cancelled or the group was deleted.
• Make sure the whole link was copied — messaging apps sometimes cut long URLs.

I'm not getting notifications

• Check that you allowed notifications for www.finledger.co.in in your browser's site settings.
• Check whether you muted the group: its menu shows Unmute notifications if so.
• You don't get notified about your own actions — only other members'.
• Private or incognito windows usually block push notifications.

The Telegram bot doesn't recognise me

• Link your account first from Settings → Security, then send the code shown to the bot.
• If the web page is still waiting after you sent the code, generate a new code and try again.
• Send /help to see the phrasing the bot understands.

A balance looks wrong

• Open the expense and check who is marked as having paid, and the split type.
• With exact amounts or percentages, check each person's value — a typo moves the whole balance.
• After simplifying debts, suggested payments can be between different people than you expect; the totals each person owes are unchanged.
• Make sure every payment between members was recorded with Settle up.

I keep getting sent to the sign-in screen

• Your session may have expired — sign in again and you'll return to the page you were on.
• FinLedger needs cookies to keep you signed in; check they aren't blocked for the site.

I can't leave a group

You can leave once your balance in the group is settled. A group's owner can't leave while other members remain — delete the group instead, or wait until you're the last member.
