**Summary** On June 9, 2026, customers experienced delays in chat message delivery and related real-time updates for a portion of the morning. The issue was caused by a third-party service event affecting the infrastructure used to propagate real-time messaging updates. Service recovered the same morning, and current system health is stable. **Root cause** A third-party real-time messaging provider experienced elevated latency and intermittent publish failures in one of its regions. That disruption delayed delivery acknowledgements and other real-time updates in Kustomer. Messages continued to be stored successfully, but some updates were not reflected immediately in the client until the external service recovered or the client refreshed. **Timeline** * **9:05 AM EDT** — Customer impact began, including delayed chat message delivery and stale real-time updates. * **9:45 AM EDT** — The third-party provider reported active latency affecting its service. * **9:48 AM EDT** — The provider reported mitigation and recovery. * **Shortly after recovery** — Real-time behavior returned to normal and monitoring confirmed stability. **Lesson/improvements** * We added additional monitoring tied to the third-party provider's public service health signals so similar service events can be identified faster. * We are improving alerting around real-time messaging errors to reduce time to diagnosis. * We are continuing to review operational signals to better distinguish external service issues from internal platform issues.

**Summary** On June 2, 2026, customers in our prod1 environment experienced elevated latency affecting chat creation, email sending, and conversation routing. The event caused delayed processing for a subset of customer interactions during the incident window. Service performance recovered the same day after mitigation steps were applied, and the environment is currently operating normally. **Impact** * Scope: prod1 only * Customer effect: delayed chat creation, delayed email sends, and slower conversation routing * Duration: customer-visible impact began in the morning ET on June 2 and materially improved after mitigation later that afternoon * Other environments: prod2 and prod4 were not impacted by the customer-facing degradation **Timeline** * Early June 2: We detected elevated processing latency in services supporting chat, email, and routing in prod1. * Midday to afternoon ET: Customer reports confirmed delayed system behavior in prod1. * Afternoon ET: We increased service capacity and adjusted resource limits to reduce backlog and restore throughput. * Later that day: We completed an infrastructure rollback on affected worker hosts and confirmed stable recovery. * June 3: Monitoring confirmed the environment remained healthy. **Root cause** The incident was caused by infrastructure-level resource exhaustion on a set of worker hosts in prod1. That reduced the availability of a metadata-dependent service and created message backlog, which in turn increased latency for customer-facing workflows such as chat creation, email sending, and routing. The issue was isolated to prod1. **Resolution** We restored service by increasing available capacity, raising resource limits for the affected service, and rolling impacted worker infrastructure back to a stable configuration. After those changes were applied, backlog cleared and latency returned to expected levels. Current system health is stable. **Preventative actions** * Strengthen host-level capacity and disk safeguards before future infrastructure rollouts * Add earlier alerting for infrastructure resource pressure to reduce time to detection * Expand validation for production-scale logging and resource usage prior to promotion * Continue tuning service capacity thresholds and recovery procedures for metadata-dependent workloads

## Summary On May 26, 2026, some customers experienced failures when sending WhatsApp messages from existing conversations. The issue affected outbound message delivery for a subset of WhatsApp configurations. Service was restored after the responsible change was rolled back, and the issue is now resolved. ## Impact During the incident window, outbound WhatsApp messages failed for some existing conversations. Newly created conversations were less consistently affected, and impact varied by account configuration. Customers may have seen message-send failures or provider errors while attempting to send WhatsApp messages. ## Timeline All times EDT. * **4:05 PM:** The incident window is believed to have begun after a recent WhatsApp-related change. * **5:54 PM:** Active investigation began. * **5:56 PM:** The team identified a likely connection to recent WhatsApp sender-selection behavior and started a rollback. * **6:05 PM:** Rollback completed. * **6:17 PM – 7:47 PM:** The team validated recovery across affected examples and narrowed the underlying cause. * **8:21 PM:** The incident was declared resolved. ## Root cause The incident was caused by an issue in WhatsApp phone-number lookup and sender selection. A recent change expanded support for multiple valid phone-number formats in certain countries. In some cases, that allowed the system to resolve the wrong sender configuration for an existing conversation. When that happened, outbound sends could target an invalid or unavailable sender identity, causing WhatsApp message delivery to fail. ## Resolution We mitigated the incident by rolling back the relevant WhatsApp change. After the rollback, we verified recovery against affected examples and confirmed that the incident was resolved. ## Preventative actions * Move WhatsApp sender resolution toward more stable identifier-based matching rather than relying on ambiguous phone-number formatting. * Expand regression coverage for country-specific phone-number formatting edge cases. * Improve monitoring and alerting for message delivery failures and queue growth. * Improve testing workflows for WhatsApp changes before production rollout.
