Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Khoros Care experienced an issue where Facebook Messenger and Facebook DM author names displayed as numeric IDs instead of customer names, making it difficult for agents to identify customers by name while still allowing them to read and respond to conversations. The incident lasted 103.4 hours and affected the Facebook API component. The root cause was identified and fixed, with new messages displaying names correctly and restoration efforts completed for messages received during the incident window.

We are investigating reports that some customers using Khoros Care are seeing Facebook Messenger / Facebook DM author names display as long numeric IDs instead of customer names. Agents can generally continue to read and respond to affected conversations, but identifying customers by name in Care may be impacted. We are actively investigating and will provide another update as soon as we have more information.
