Status: Identified We have implemented a fix and restored the affected database cluster. Contact operations in the application and API are back to normal, and transactional email delivery has caught up. Remaining queued events are now being processed: campaign open statistics and open-event webhooks are backfilling and may appear delayed for a short while longer. SMS delivery status updates are recovering as well. No data has been lost — all queued emails, events, and updates are being processed automatically, and campaign statistics will complete backfilling on their own. No action is needed on your side. We are monitoring the platform closely to confirm full recovery. Next update within 30 minutes.
