The incident lasted 3.8 hours, with partial mitigation implemented after about an hour that restored responses for new conversations, and full resolution achieved when all Fin services returned to normal operation.

The issue affecting Fin AI Agent and Fin Voice in the US region has been resolved. All services are operating normally.
What happened:
Between 11:18 and 12:20 UTC on April 14, 2026, a database issue prevented Fin from generating conversation parts in the US region. This affected Fin AI Agent across Messenger, Inbox, and Workflows. Fin Voice experienced an issue where it was unable to hand over conversations to teammates and would terminate calls with an error message at the escalation point.
At 12:20 UTC we implemented a mitigation to enable Fin to start delivering answers to customers again. New conversations, or conversations where a customer messaged to Fin again would receive an answer but pre-existing conversations or conversations that had been actioned by a teammate would not receive a reply. At this point escalations from the Fin AI Agent and Fin Voice to customer support teams were not functioning as expected.
At 13:00 UTC Fin AI Agent and Fin Voice were functioning as normal for new conversations.
At approximately 13:05 UTC we retried any pending Fin conversations that had not yet been actioned by a teammate on workspaces.
EU and AU regions were not impacted by this incident.
What's next:
Reporting data for affected customer workspaces may be incomplete for the duration of the incident window. We are investigating a method for backfilling this data and will provide a follow-up update once that is complete.
A full root cause analysis will be forthcoming once all details of the incident have been established.
We apologize for the disruption to your business.
