**What happened**

Between Saturday 29 August and the afternoon of Monday 31 August, and again from 23:30 BST on Monday 31 August until 11:09 BST on Tuesday 1 September, emails sent from Pinpoint were not delivered. This affected candidate communications, notifications and other outbound email across the platform.

**Cause**

Both disruptions were caused by our email delivery provider, Postmark. An account restriction was applied on their side and, following its resolution, a required manual review by their team was not completed. This left the restriction in place and caused their systems to accept our emails as sent while not delivering them. No errors were returned to us, which is why the second disruption was not detecte</description></item><item><title>Support Update [resolved]</title><link>https://stspg.io/mnfvkf850d52</link><guid isPermaLink="false">pinpoint:2026-08-03T14:33:16.449Z</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2026 14:33:16 +0000</pubDate><description>Support Update – Resolved

## What Happened

Pinpoint experienced an unexpected service disruption in the early hours of 13 May. The incident had two impact windows: an initial period of unavailability between approximately 03:00 and 04:00 UTC, and a follow-on period between approximately 05:39 and 06:51 UTC during which users attempting to modify certain types of records \(predominantly scorecard submissions\) encountered errors.

No data was lost or corrupted, and no background jobs were delayed.

## Timeline \(UTC\)

* 03:00  
  Initial impact begins; application unavailable.
* 04:00

**Duration:** Approximately 35 minutes \(11:46 to 12:21 UTC\).

### What Happened

Pinpoint experienced a service outage beginning at approximately 11:46 UTC on 19 March. Users were unable to access the platform and received 503 errors. Full service was restored by approximately 12:21 UTC. No data was lost or corrupted.

### Timeline \(UTC\)

* **11:46** - Automated monitoring alerts triggered for service unavailability.
* **11:47** - Engineering team began investigating.
* **12:01** - Status page updated to reflect the incident.
* **12:10** - Root cause identified as a database firewall misconfiguration introduced during an infrastructure change.
* **12:20** - Fix applied; service restored.
* **12:21** - Incident marked as resolved.

Users were unable to preview CVs and cover letters within the platform. The preview area appeared blank or showed a &quot;blocked by browser&quot; message. Downloading resumes continued to work normally throughout.

&gt; What caused it
A security update was deployed overnight to protect admins from potentially harmful files. While the protection worked as intended, it had an unintended side effect - it also prevented the resume preview from loading correctly in all browsers.

&gt; What we did
Identified the cause within minutes of being alerted
Deployed a fix to restore normal resume previewing

&gt; What&#x27;s next
We have applied an alternative security protection using a different approach that doesn&#x27;t affect the preview.</description></item><item><title>Service Degradation - Database Write Operations Unavailable [resolved]</title><link>https://stspg.io/zc5d9yr2gr32</link><guid isPermaLink="false">pinpoint:2026-03-03T05:00:00.000Z</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000</pubDate><description>Component: Pinpoint → Partial Outage

Investigating - 05:00 UTC:
&gt; We are aware that some users may be unable to perform actions that involve saving or updating data. Our engineering team is actively investigating.

Identified - 06:45 UTC:
&gt; The auto-scaling configured on our primary database infrastructure failed to provision additional storage in response to increased load. As a result, the database entered read-only mode, preventing write operations. We are provisioning additional storage to restore full functionality.

Monitoring - 06:57 UTC:
&gt; Additional storage has been provisioned and write operations have been restored. Our team is monitoring to confirm full stability across all services.

Resolved - 07:01 UTC:

**Duration:** Approximately 30 minutes \(14:00 - 14:35 UTC\), with a brief secondary disruption during recovery.

### What Happened

Pinpoint experienced a service outage beginning at approximately 14:00 UTC on 12 February. Most users were unable to access the platform and received 504 timeout errors, though partial capacity meant some requests were still being served. Full service was restored by approximately 14:35 UTC.

Some outbound emails were delayed due to background workers also being affected. All queued emails were delivered by approximately 16:15 UTC. No data was lost or corrupted.

&gt; What happened
Following a planned infrastructure update last night, some customers experienced errors when performing certain actions on the platform, particularly around candidate pages and interview scheduling. We identified the root cause and restored full service by reverting to our previous database infrastructure.

&gt; Current status
The platform is now fully operational. All features are working normally.

&gt; Data impact
Due to an issue between both database providers when we restored service, there&#x27;s a short window (between 10:16 and 10:57 UTC this morning) where some changes made on the platform may not yet be reflected. No data has been lost, we have complete records of everything that happened during this window and are working to restore any aff</description></item></channel></rss>
