Both automated and manual approval workflows are currently failing to execute

On October 1, 2026, a deployment issue caused automated and manual approval workflows to fail across our US, EU, and AU regions for approximately 4.5 hours \(our Government cloud region was unaffected throughout\). Our team restored normal workflow execution within about an hour of the incident being declared. During recovery, the backlog of requests that had built up caused a smaller, secondary issue: some customers experienced delayed approval/update request notifications. We've since recovered the vast majority of affected notifications and are implementing safeguards to prevent a similar deployment issue from recurring, along with improvements to how our systems handle request backlogs so that delayed notifications are retried automatically rather than silently dropped.
