# GitHub App Coverage (/web/guides/github-app-coverage)



Most confusion in Mogplex setup comes from mixing up two different GitHub
states:

* **GitHub connected** through OAuth
* **GitHub App installed** for the account or org that owns the repo

They are related, but they do different jobs.

## OAuth vs App coverage [#oauth-vs-app-coverage]

GitHub OAuth gives Mogplex your user identity and basic account connection.

GitHub App coverage determines which repos Mogplex can treat as triggerable for
webhook-backed work such as [Triggers](/web/triggers) and
[Automations](/web/automations).

That means a repo can be visible in [Projects](/web/spaces) but still not be
usable for triggered routing if the App is not installed for that owner.

## Common symptoms of missing App coverage [#common-symptoms-of-missing-app-coverage]

* Triggers is empty even though GitHub is connected
* Automations cannot find the installation or repo you expect
* A repo appears in Projects, but GitHub-backed routing is unavailable
* Settings shows GitHub connected, but installation coverage is missing or for
  the wrong owner

## How to verify coverage [#how-to-verify-coverage]

Start in [Settings](/web/settings).

Check the GitHub App coverage and installation area. You want to verify:

* the installation belongs to the correct account or org
* the repo count and synced repo count look reasonable
* the repo owner you care about appears under an installation

If installation metadata is available, use the manage link back to GitHub to
confirm the App is installed where you think it is.

## What to do next [#what-to-do-next]

If GitHub is connected but the App is not installed for the repo owner:

1. Install the Mogplex GitHub App for that owner
2. Return to [Settings](/web/settings) and refresh the installation state
3. Go back to [Projects](/web/spaces) and sync repos again
4. Re-check [Triggers](/web/triggers) or [Automations](/web/automations)

## Rule of thumb [#rule-of-thumb]

If the question is "why can Mogplex see this repo but not route webhook work
for it?", the answer is usually App coverage, not OAuth.
