Embedded assistants unable to start conversations
19 Sep 2026, 00:15 UTC · lasted 3 h 10 min · Chat API
Embedded assistants loaded correctly but were unable to generate greetings or respond to messages. The issue was caused by a missing internal service authentication key following a deployment, which prevented the chat service from retrieving bot configuration. All services were restored after the key was provisioned and containers were recreated. No customer data was lost or exposed.
