# Reconnect a token

> Reconnect a paired token before sending messages or calls.

Reconnect a token when WhatsApp is still linked but WADial shows `connected: false`. You do not need QR pairing or a pairing code unless the token was logged out.

## Check the status

Call the token status endpoint:

```http theme={null}
GET /api/v1/sessions/{sessionId}
Authorization: Bearer <api_key>
```

Reconnect when the response shows:

```json theme={null}
{
  "paired": true,
  "connected": false
}
```

## Reconnect the token

Call `connect` again:

```http theme={null}
POST /api/v1/sessions/{sessionId}/connect
Authorization: Bearer <api_key>
```

Wait until the token shows `connected: true` before sending messages or starting calls.

## When to pair again

Pair again only when the token is not paired:

```json theme={null}
{
  "paired": false,
  "connected": false
}
```

Use QR pairing or pairing code flow for unpaired tokens.
