What is happening?
Some emails that were submitted on or around Oct 4th have had delivery delayed by up to 36 hours

Background
Our mail provider has faced some technical issues causing some emails to have large delivery delays. This appears to be fixed now. (You can read about that in the issue in the incident below this one at https://status.vinsight.net )


What can you do?
If you use the "Send me a copy" option when you send email from Vinsight, you may be able to check your own inbox to tell which emails are being delivered in a timely fashion.


We are sorry for the confusion that this may cause.
What is happening?
Sept 19, 2023, It appears our email provider is sending some emails today that were submitted sent on Sept 7th.

Background
2 weeks ago, we had an issue where our mail provider was intermittently failing to send some emails. (You can read about that in the issue in the incident below this one at https://status.vinsight.net )

We were told by our mail provider at the time that they could not identify which emails this affected, so most people will already have resent these emails at the time to compensate for these un-received emails.

Today it appears the email provider is now resending those emails from around Sept 7th, meaning that some emails from Sept 7th are being received by people today, and this is what you have seen.

To be clear, this is not Vinsight resending any emails, these are emails submitted on the 7th Sept that are now being processed and sent from our email provider.

What can you do?
This may cause some confusion so you may need to inform anyone that you sent emails to that they may receive a duplicate email today.

If you use the "Send me a copy" option, you may be able to check your own inbox to tell which emails are affected today and let any other recipients know that this is a duplicate.


We are sorry for the confusion that this may cause, but we do not have information available to us to identify which emails this has affected.
Resolved - This should now be resolved. Please contact support@vinsight.net if you are still running into problems with this

What happened?
From about 2023-09-04T23:00 UTC until about 2023-09-05T07:00 UTC , our email provider had some intermittent outbound emails that did not complete sending even though everything appeared to be working with no errors. This affected a small but random set of outbound emails sent from Vinsight during this period.
Why did this happen?
We wrote to our email provider (incidentally it is the same provider MailChimp uses, so normally very reliable) to find out what happened, this is what they report:
"
Fortunately our engineers have been able to pin point the issue and fix it, so you should not be seeing any of those issues moving forward. I'm so sorry again for the trouble caused to you and your customers throughout all of this. To give some insight on the cause of the issue, it appears that a couple of app hosts that should not have been in rotation for our relays were taking production traffic, which caused those sends to fail. We have since taken those app hosts back out of rotation, and things should have returned to normal around 12:15pm ET today.
"
We read this as, "some of their servers were accepting emails but not sending them" and that this was a small percentage of emails during that time.
We have asked them if they can provide a list of emails that were not sent, but they appear to be unable to do this.
What should you do now?
If you use the "Send me a copy" option, you may be able to check your own inbox to tell which emails may not have been sent because you may not have received a copy.
If you do not use the "Send me a copy" option then given that it does not seem possible to tell which emails were not sent from the email service, you may need to check with your customers or warehouses that they have received all the emails/orders that you sent.
What can you do to help in future?
Hopefully this will not occur again in future, however there are a number of other reasons that emails do not get received by recipients, eg a common one might be if a customers servers mark an email as spam.
So one thing that you can do to understand if your emails are sending correctly, is to use the "Send me a copy" option, so that you can at least check that you receive a copy of the email that you are sending. This setting is at the bottom left of the email screen:
Also you can check that this is on by default in Settings > Setup > Advanced Settings > Orders:
We are sorry for any inconvenience and disruption that this has caused.

Statement
			

What happened:

Today at approximated 12:00 UTC (23 April 2018) (midnight NZST 24th April) Vinsight went offline.

This was due to hardware infrastructure at one of our data-centres experiencing a failure, and this caused Vinsight to go offline.

Due to the timing of the incident, our initial response was slow.

Once we were aware Vinsight was down, we spent time diagnosing the issue.

Before we brought Vinsight back online we decided to do a full backup image of the affected service to mitigate further risks, and while this meant it took longer to bring Vinsight online, we felt it was a prudent thing to do. 

Once the backups were complete we brought Vinsight back online.

 

What we could improve upon:

We understand that our customers are global and operate in many time-zones around the world and that at certain times of the year, our customers can be working 24 hours a day.

So while we are happy with the amount of time it took to diagnose, backup and re-instate the service, we have identified it took too long to become aware of the issue.

We are working to implement systems to improve our first response times for outages that are outside of our normal business hours.

 

We do have a status page that keeps people up to date if Vinsight is offline for either planned or unplanned maintenance. We discovered that many people did not see this because they were not correctly re-directed to the status page during the outage.

We have identified and implemented a way so that anyone trying to go to any Vinsight page during an outage will be correctly redirected to the status page.

 

 

We understand how disruptive any unplanned outage can be, and appreciate your patience and understanding.

 

 

Regards
Simon Lampen
CEO
