Publishing events and Webhooks are now being processed again. Customer may see some old events from the start of the outage (until the full backlog is cleared).

IDENTIFIED 6 days ago - at 10/20/2025 11:20AM

Due to the large failure with our 3rd party provider we have seen that publish events are not being processed at the moment. We have manually purged our cache (so recent changes should be reflected now). Until we are able to fully recover publishing events we will continue to manually purge cache periodically which will mean a delay for customers in seeing their published changes reflected.

We are still working on the issue related to Webhooks not being process/triggered.
