Outage Details

We stopped receiving notifications for WhatsApp messages starting at 16:56 UTC, as a result new messages from that time may not have been ingested into Gorgias. We're also observing failures on new messages sent via the helpdesk with the "There was a problem with the access token or permissions you are using for the API call." error.

RESOLVED 9 months ago - at 09/04/2024 05:37PM

We have not yet received any response from Meta's support team.

We're marking the incident as resolved as the WhatsApp integration is now fully operational, however we will continue to communicate with Meta to understand what caused the incident and whether any messages that may have been lost can be recovered.

We will post an update with a public post-mortem of the incident by the end of next week.

MONITORING 9 months ago - at 09/04/2024 11:14AM

We haven't got a reply from Meta yet, however, we were able to resolve the permission issue we had identified earlier.

That appears to have mitigated the messaging problem: new messages are now coming into Gorgias and we've stopped experiencing errors when sending replies.

We will now contact Meta's support to see if we can recover any messages that may have been lost while we were affected by this.

We have provided Meta's support with all the required information and the results of our investigation, but we haven't yet received any reply to our question about what exactly started causing this problem and what's required for its resolution.

We're now looking for a way to get our ticket escalated and properly investigated by Meta as soon as possible.

The problem persists, we've identified the potential cause (our WhatsApp app appears to be missing messaging permissions) but we're still waiting for Meta's support to confirm and eventually help with its resolution.
