Resident having trouble connecting ButterflyMX to Ambient

If a resident is having trouble connecting their ButterflyMX account to Ambient, you can help them troubleshoot these common issues:

Trouble finding ButterflyMX invitation email

If a resident can't find their invitation email from ButterflyMX, you can resend the invitation from the ButterflyMX dashboard.

Tip: See this guidance from ButterflyMX for details.

If you have trouble resending the invitation or the resident still can't find their invitation, contact ButterflyMX Support.

No ButterflyMX account

A resident's email in ButterflyMX must match their email in the Ambient manager dashboard. If they don't match, when the resident connects their account, they won't receive calls or see intercom doors. 

To resolve this issue, change the resident’s email in the ButterflyMX dashboard to match the email in the Ambient manager dashboard.

Tip: See this guidance from ButterflyMX for details.

If you have trouble changing the resident email, contact ButterflyMX Support.

No "Connect ButterflyMX to Ambient" message

When a resident opens the Ambient app after they're invited to ButterflyMX, they should see a message prompting them to connect ButterflyMX to Ambient.

If a resident doesn't see this message, confirm that the resident has access to a common area in Level M that is connected to a ButterflyMX intercom.

If the resident has access but still doesn't see this message, contact Support.
