We are currently experiencing a system issue where the Tabbed UI attendee form is allowing registrations to proceed even when required fields are left unfilled. This may result in incomplete attendee data or registrations not being properly recorded in our system. Our engineering team is actively investigating the issue and working on a fix. We will share updates as soon as the issue is resolved. We strongly recommend using the Dynamic or Simple UI for all attendee registrations until this issue with the Tabbed UI is resolved. Thank you

We’ve identified an issue in the May ’25 Webapp release where registrations using the Tabbed UI could succeed without completing all required form fields. This resulted in errors during registration processing, as incomplete data cannot be processed in Salesforce. To prevent further impact on our users while our Engineering team works on this issue as our highest priority, we are rolling back the Webapp to the April ’25 release. This rollback will restore the proper required field validation behavior. We will share updates as soon as the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We've successfully rolled back the May ’25 Webapp release to resolve the issue with the Tabbed UI attendee form. Required field validation is now working correctly, and registrations are processing as expected. We’re continuing to monitor the system and investigate the root cause. A full post-mortem will be shared once the analysis is complete. Thank you for your patience and support.

We are currently investigating an intermittent issue with our Email Template Builder Tool. Our team is actively investigating this issue, and we will provide regular updates as more information becomes available. If you require urgent assistance with email scheduling during this time, please feel free to contact our Support team, and we will be happy to help.

We’re continuing to investigate the issue relating to our Email Template Builder page continuous loading and the BeeFree integration for creating/editing Email Templates. Our first recommendation is to safelist the following IP Addresses (from the “Network Access” section in the Setup menu) as this has allowed for Email Template creation in several impacted environments. These addresses are used within Beefree SDK for outbound communication: 54.78.90.148 52.16.171.98 52.58.39.32 18.158.188.143 If your team are unable to make those IP Address changes in the “Network Access” Set up menu, there are several email options available in the interim: Using Classic or Lightning email templates, we’d be happy to assist with configuring a flow to send your communications. Using your existing marketing tools, we can help generate a Salesforce list of Attendees/Event information to be imported into the tech stack and sent externally. Please let the Support team know if you need help walking through either path. We’ll be sure to provide an update as soon as we have more information about a resolution.

We're currently investigating an issue affecting the Email Template Builder page and the BeeFree integration used for creating and editing email templates. Some users are experiencing continuous loading when attempting to access the builder. While we work on a permanent fix, two workarounds have helped some users temporarily regain access. First, performing a hard browser refresh has been effective in some cases. On Windows, this can be done by pressing Ctrl + F5, and on Mac by pressing Cmd + Shift + R. Second, switching to an alternative browser such as Safari or Microsoft Edge has allowed some customers to access the builder successfully. We will provide further updates as soon as we have more information regarding the root cause and a long-term resolution. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

We made progress on the issue impacting the Email Template Builder functionality. Testing for the bug fix has been completed successfully. The leadership team is now coordinating with BeeFree, our email template plugin provider, to determine the best approach for delivering the solution to our customers. Our development team has identified a workaround that has shown the highest success rate so far. When prompted with a blank Email Template Builder screen, they recommend clearing your browser cache and performing a hard reload of the page through the browser console. To assist with this, we’ve included a short video demonstration outlining the exact steps. https://www.loom.com/share/ec7d529983d646b29e8736207ca09512 We appreciate your continued patience as we work toward a permanent resolution and will provide further updates as soon as more information becomes available.

The issue affecting the Email Template Builder functionality and loading times has been resolved. The fix is included in our April '25 release, which is now available. Users can install the updated version by visiting our Candyshop portal: https://candyshop.blackthorn.io/products Once there, select the Blackthorn Events product and click the "Product Upgrade". If you need any assistance with the upgrade, our Support team is ready to help. We appreciate your patience as our team worked through this issue, and we thank you for your continued trust and support.

**Root Cause:** Unanticipated updates in either the BeeFree editor or Salesforce infrastructure introduced a timing issue where the BeeFree script began executing before essential page elements were fully available, resulting in frequent failures of the Email Template Builder to load properly. **Resolution:** We modified the EmailEditor page to ensure the BeeFree script initialises only after all necessary page elements have finished rendering. This fix is now included in our April '25 release.

The Blackthorn Engineering team is currently investigating an issue with the Messaging Application's URL Shortening Service. Messages sent containing shortened URLs may experience deliverability issues. Until this issue is fully resolved, it is recommended to disable the "Enable Trackable Links" feature in the Messaging Admin page.

This incident has been resolved. Root Cause Analysis: A regression occurred on one of our resources that is responsible for processing shortened URLs in SMS messages that are sent through the Blackthorn Messaging app. The necessary measures to ensure that this does not happen again in the future have been implemented. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Our Engineering team is currently investigating an ongoing issue impacting SMS deliverability. We will provide an update shortly.

The SMS deliverability issue has been successfully identified and resolved. We will provide a detailed Root Cause Analysis for this incident and apologize for this system outage with the Messaging application.

Our engineering team has identified the root cause of the SMS Application outage.  We experienced a brief service interruption on September 26, 2024, between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM EDT, which impacted all of our messaging services. Our internal load-balancer auto-scaling was stuck, which required our Engineering team to modify the web server. During this time, customers were unable to send or receive messages, and updates related to Stripe failed as well. Services were fully restored within two hours, and we ensured that no data was lost by verifying all processes through our health-check systems and API. Going forward, our Engineering team will generate additional Fallback DNS configuration to pass requests to another resource for processing redundancy to avoid further disruption.

Earlier this afternoon, several customers reported an intermittent event URL display issue. This issue was related to a recent Events Webapp release. Our engineering team has resolved the error and is continuing to monitor the situation.

Our Engineering team is currently investigating an issue relating to the inability to send messages. We will provide updates here as the investigation continues. Thank you for your patience as we urgently work to restore SMS deliverability.

Our Blackthorn Messaging App service has now been restored. We are currently monitoring the situation but please reach out to Blackthorn Support at https://community.blackthorn.io/s/support-request if you run into any issues going forward.

A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.

This incident has been resolved.

After further investigation, our engineering team has identified the root cause.  It appears the Database supporting production services reached it's limit preventing customers from being able to send messages. This service had to be expanded to restore messaging, and should continue working as expected. Moving forward, Autoscaling and monitoring tools will be enabled as part of the resolution so this shouldn’t happen again.

Recently, we enhanced our security protocols, specifically through the rotation of the signing key for our Salesforce connected app, which is a critical component our products use to securely link your Salesforce organization to our web applications \(Events, PayLink, DocmentLink, Storefront\). This need for reauthentication was a direct result of us updating our security protocol. While we understand this caused a temporary disruption, please allow me to explain why this step was both necessary and ultimately beneficial: **Enhanced Security:** Regularly updating signing keys is a critical practice in maintaining high security standards. This process helps in safeguarding against potential vulnerabilities and ensuring that the integrity of your data remains uncompromised. **Proactive Risk Management:** The longer a signing key remains unchanged, the higher the risk of it being compromised. Rotating these keys minimizes this risk, thereby protecting both your data and our system from unauthorized access. **Adherence to Best Practices:** This update aligns with industry best practices and regulatory requirements for digital security. It's part of our commitment to adhering to the highest standards and ensuring that we are always focused on data protection. **Our Apology and Commitment to You** We realize that the need for reauthentication might have caused unexpected disruptions in use of our applications. We deeply regret any inconvenience this has caused, and are taking steps to ensure that future updates are smoother, timely, and more transparent. **Support and Assistance** To assist with any lingering issues or concerns, our dedicated support team is on standby. Additionally, we have prepared resources and guides to help you navigate these changes:  **DocumentLink:** To resolve this issue, we recommend reauthorizing the DocumentLink. Please note, for the authorization to work properly, you can only be logged into one Salesforce org. Here are the instructions for reauthorizing: [https://docs.blackthorn.io/docs/authorize-documentlink](https://docs.blackthorn.io/docs/authorize-documentlink) **Paylink:** To resolve this issue please reauthorize the PayLink by navigating to the “Blackthorn | PayLink” app, clicking "Authorize" blue checkmark, then clicking the "Grant Access" button. **Events:** The Blackthorn Events application can be successfully reauthorized with the following steps from our User Guide:[ https://docs.blackthorn.io/docs/configuration#authorize-the-app](https://docs.blackthorn.io/docs/configuration#authorize-the-app) If you need additional help re-authorizing your applications or run into any issues, please create a system-impaired case using this link: [https://community.blackthorn.io/s/support-request](https://community.blackthorn.io/s/support-request). Support is also available for live zoom support \(please request when submitting case\) if your team needs additional help with re-authorization. **Looking Ahead** Rest assured, we are fully committed to continuously improving our services and the experience they provide. Prior to the next scheduled key rotation we’ll be implementing a more robust update plan and communications.
