We are currently investing an issue where a subset of customers are seeing offline O365 channels.
We are attempting a mitigation step to get impacted channels back online.
Front continues to investigate paths to restore access for affected Office365 channels. Office reports internal errors, which we are trying to work around.
Front is partnering with Microsoft to investigate the channel sync failures and will continue to update here as we make progress. Manually re-authorizing the channel in Front's channel settings has worked in some cases, but not all. Please contact [email protected] for assistance.

On Friday, Dec 19, at 14:50 UTC \(6:50am PST\), customers backed in our US-West-2 data center experienced dramatically increased API latency, resulting in the website failing to load and messages being queued in the backend. This continued until 18:10 UTC \(10:10am PST\). During this time no messages were lost, though there may have been a significant delay for messages to appear in customer inboxes. All queued messages were delivered by 21:00 \(1:00pm PST\). Customers based in Front’s EU-West-1 and US-West-1 datacenters may have experienced some delays during this time, as some systems are interdependent, but this impact was intermittent and uncommon. The root cause of this issue was the failure of a caching system. There are several database systems that support the Front application, which are supported by caching to improve performance. A recent change increased the size of some objects in the cache layer. This is not inherently wrong, and did not have any immediate impact. On Friday the 19th the caching layer in US-West-2 crossed a new threshold of data volume which triggered a large number of evictions, particularly of other data that is necessary for most application activity. Besides putting additional load on the databases, there was simply not enough room in the cache for all the data we needed to store there. This caused a high amount of thrashing that significantly increased latency for all systems.

At 19:05 UTC \(11:05 am PST\), Front began a routine application deployment. Front typically deploys new versions of the application multiple times per day as part of normal operation. This app release included a change in the way we connect to an internal caching system. The change passed all our testing requirements, but due to an environment-specific configuration on the caching system it immediately caused a problem in our customer environment. Front was alerted within minutes of the increased error rate and immediately started investigating. At 19:20 UTC we initiated a rollback of the deployment across all regions. Because of the progressive nature of the rollback, some customers saw the application recover quickly after while for others it took up to 30 minutes. By 19:50 all rollbacks were complete and most customers were back to normal. However, for one slice of Front customers the rollback triggered a second issue that kept the application from recovering. For clarity, Front divides customers into one of 40 “cells” that isolate them from one another. This architecture is designed to limit the scope of certain failures, like this one. But for the 2% of customers on the affected cell we had to take additional steps to recover. This second issue was triggered by a spike in database load caused by the stampede of traffic from customers returning to the application. In this cell a particular workload caused high database contention that ultimately timed out and then started over, which prevented us from escaping the problem. Traffic continued to back up and we were unable to progress through all the messages. Once we identified that the problematic workload was in the evaluation of rules, we were able to block all rules from processing. This allowed the database and the application to immediately recover, coming back online for users at 21:39 UTC. Rule evaluations continued to back up, and we were able to slowly restart processing to make sure the database didn’t reenter a bad state. All rule evaluations were caught up by 22:20 UTC. We would like to apologize for the disruption this outage has caused and for the unusually long duration. In the immediate aftermath of the incident we have identified a number of actions we can take to prevent this kind of event from occurring again. The first step is to ensure we have a test environment that appropriately represents the configuration of the production customer environment for the caching system. This issue should have been detected before we ever deployed it. The second task is to investigate the rollback system to see if we can safely improve the speed, so that if we have a similar issue in the future we can recover even faster.

We've have received reports of the google sign in flow failing to redirect back to the mobile app successfully, and have been able to reproduce the issue We are currently investigating the problem
We have isolated the issue to iOS devices, Android customers should be unaffected Continuing to investigate
We've identified the issue, and are still working on a fix. In the meantime we have identified a workaround that appears to be working on some clients - by navigating directly to https://app.frontapp.com/oauth/google-signin?client_type=universalLink in Safari on iOS and signing you should get redirected to the app in a signed in state
We've released a new version of the app (5.69.1) that fixes the behavior in some cases, but does not fully address the issue. We are in progress on a full fix. For clients still unable to login we have identified a workaround that appears to be working on some clients - by navigating directly to https://app.frontapp.com/oauth/google-signin?client_type=universalLink in Safari on iOS and signing you should get redirected to the app in a signed in state
We've implemented a fix - you can download the latest version from the app store (5.69.2) to test. Please let us know if you experience any issues on this version
We have confirmed reports that the latest version of the iOS app (5.69.2) addresses the issue. If you run into login issues, ensure you've updated to the latest version, and reach out if the problem persists.
Front is currently investigating an issue in which trying to load some conversations results in an error message.
Conversations that leveraged Suggest Reply between 21:30 and 21:50 UTC (2:30pm – 2:50pm PDT) may cause an error when loading. Front has identified the root cause and is deploying a fix that will allow these messages to display.
A fix for the affected conversations has now been deployed, and initial tests show all conversations should now be visible. Please make sure to refresh your browser or app if you don't see this right away.
Front has now completed the fix and cleanup associated with this incident. If you continue to see errors loading conversations, please make sure you've done a browser or app refresh, and if the issue persists please contact support. Summary: Conversations for which Front attempted to provide a Suggested Reply between 21:30 – 21:50 UTC may have been unreadable until the fix was completed at 22:49 UTC. During that initial time, suggested replies were generated with an additional field that caused an unrecoverable error in the frontend. No data or messages were lost or corrupted during the incident. Suggested replies for conversations that arrived during that time may need to be regenerated.
