thanks

Did you ever create an onboarding link for this account to have them finish the onboarding process? You can't create a login link for the account if they haven't finished onboarding (which is why you're getting this error)

how to create the loging link ?
abstract ocean
No you can't create a login link right now - what you want to be creating is an onboarding link (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#create-link)

yes the onboarding link was done but was not completed in entirely by the user so it expired I think
so we want the user to be able to recover that link and reautenticate

Yup, you want to be generating new onboarding links from your refresh and return urls (see https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#return-user)

This was the api I had been using to generate onboarding links, and each time it takes Paul straight to the return_url and I understand that it’s a one time use link, so each time we generated a new one

How are you sending the onboarding link to your user?
And just to clarify, are you saying that you send to onboarding link and the your user is being automatically taken to the return_url? Usually this happens when you send the link over slack/other messaging services that visit the page (which expires it since it's one-time use) in order to generate a "link preview"
This is why it's important to have the logic to generate new account links from the return and refresh urls (as we mention at https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#return-user)
I'm gonna head out soon, but if you have any other questions @zinc axle can help!

What are you using to send the link direct to them? In any case, I recommend building in the logic to generate new account links from the return and refresh urls (as karbi stated)

just emailing the user at this point
