Last update
resolved

Data cleanup is in process. Please contact support if you need subscription.activated webhooks regenerated from orders during this timeframe or if you have additional issues or concerns.

We have rolled back the code that caused this change in behavior. Our Engineering team is working on mitigating actions for the impacted susbcription.activated webhooks. If the order.completed webhook is enabled at store-level on your account, we recommend using it as source of truth for the order-level tags of subscriptions created during the incident timeframe.

Order-level tags are being passed incorrectly to the subscription.activated webhooks. It is important to note that order-level tags kept being passed correctly to the order.completed webhooks.
