    Post Mortem:

    Issue description and impact:

    On 14.03.2024 at ~16:30 we received reports from some Cloud API customers that messages and status webhooks were not arriving.

    Cause of the issue:

    We identified the cause of the issue as a recent deployment of a new Meta feature (phone number webhook) that was not working as described.

    Mitigation Steps / Summary:

    We rolled back the deployment reverting all numbers to a functioning state. This rollback was completed by ~18:40

    Prevention of recurrence & suggestions:

    We have completed an internal review with the relevant teams and

    made changes / improvements to how we test and deploy new features from Meta.
