How to Handle Unhealthy or Dead Accounts in Pipedream Connect?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

Hi All,
We’re using Pipedream Connect and I’m after a little guidance around handling our user’s connected accounts.

  1. What is the difference between the “healthy” and “dead” statuses on the accounts response?
  2. If an account is unhealthy or is dead, how do you usually go about handling this? Is there a way to “reconnect” an account or do you delete the account and create a new one?
    Thanks in advance :bow:

We should clarify in our docs, but:
healthy: false indicates that there may be an issue with the health of the account, but it could be temporary and it may recover
dead: true the account connection is broken and not recoverable
