Snoozed Tasks
Vaam snoozes a task when a temporary issue prevents it from completing. The task waits and then runs again. This protects your LinkedIn account while your sequence continues.
Why tasks get snoozed
Section titled “Why tasks get snoozed”Tasks are snoozed when the automation detects a temporary issue:
- LinkedIn rate limits: You reached LinkedIn’s limit for connection requests or messages.
- Pending connection requests: You sent an invitation that the prospect has not accepted, so Vaam cannot deliver a follow-up message.
- Temporary errors: A page did not load correctly, or LinkedIn returned an unexpected response.
- Daily action limits: You reached Vaam’s built-in safety limits for the day.
A snoozed task is still active. It waits for the right time to retry. Snoozing does not pause or cancel the task.
How long a snooze lasts
Section titled “How long a snooze lasts”The duration depends on the reason:
| Duration | When it is used |
|---|---|
| 1 hour | Temporary errors, unknown issues, or a task that the automation could not complete |
| Until next day | You reached the daily message limit, or a connection request is still pending |
| Until next week | You reached the weekly LinkedIn invitation limit |
After the snooze period ends, Vaam retries the task when the next scheduled automation window begins. You do not need to act.
How snoozing works with your schedule
Section titled “How snoozing works with your schedule”Snoozed tasks follow your LinkedIn automation schedule. Vaam retries a task only when both conditions are met:
- The snooze period has passed.
- The current time falls within your configured automation hours.
For example, a task snoozed for one hour at 4:30 PM does not retry when the snooze ends if your schedule ends at 5:00 PM. It retries the next day when your schedule resumes.
What you see in the activity log
Section titled “What you see in the activity log”When Vaam snoozes a task, it adds a message with the reason to the prospect’s activity log. Examples include:
- “Snoozed (daily message limit)”
- “Snoozed (weekly invitation limit)”
- “Snoozed (pending connection request)“
Snooze a manual task
Section titled “Snooze a manual task”For manual steps that require your action, you can snooze the task from the Tasks page. Vaam postpones it until the next business day and then shows it in your task list again.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Do I need to do anything when a task is snoozed?

Why was my task snoozed for a full week?
