What if I can't turn on Autopilot?
Updated 10 November 2026
Bavian says what's missing, usually in the Start Autopilot box at the bottom of the Insights page. Find what you see below and follow the fix. The normal steps are in How do I turn on Autopilot?
What you see, and what to do
- Insights shows "No active Google Ads connection". Click Reconnect Google Ads and connect the account again.
- The box says "Your Shopping import isn't complete yet". Wait for it to finish. If the Shopping page no longer shows Importing your products…, click Setup there, then Import feed.
- The box says "Set your locations before launching". Click Set locations.
- The daily budget is below the minimum. The box says the lowest amount. Raise the budget to at least that.
- The box says "Your first payment is still being confirmed". Give it a little while. If it doesn't go through, you can pay again. See How do I pay for Autopilot, and what if the payment doesn't go through?
- The box says "A payment didn’t go through". The owner clicks Update payment method and updates the card or pays the open invoice.
- Insights says "The analysis didn’t finish — twice". Write to support@bavian.com, and we'll get it running again.
