Generic Errors

Seam recommends adding error handling logic to you application for each generic error below. Seam may add more generic errors in the future, so your application should include a fallback case if it encounters an unknown generic error code.

Error Type	Description
account_disconnected	Seam has lost connection to a connected account. This may happen if the third-party provider triggered an access token to be revoked (e.g., after a password change). The account owner needs to reconnect the connected account with a new connect webview.

Warning Type

Description

devices_connected_to_other_account

This warning indicates that there are devices linked to the current account that are already associated with a different account. It is important to note that these devices cannot be concurrently connected to multiple accounts. To resolve this issue, you may need to disassociate the devices from the other account before connecting them to the current account. Please ensure that the device IDs mentioned on device_ids are properly managed and linked to the intended account to avoid any connectivity conflicts.
