  1. resolvedApr 14, 2026, 14:57 UTC

    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.

    As of 13:00 UTC, Fin and Fin Voice are operating normally for new conversations. For conversations during the incident that Fin did not respond and a teammate responded, Fin will not engage. For conversations where Fin or a teammate did not respond, Fin should re-engage with the conversation. We are continuing to re-drive conversations from the period.
