Flows randomly hanging

(Philip Mccarthy) #1

Hi

I’ve noticed recently that my FB Messenger Bot hangs seemingly without reason on random occasions, usually when I’m demoing it to others unfortunately. Its most unsettling because I can’t trace it to any particular step.

Last night I had a flow hang for 20 mins for no reason (evidence in attached screenshot - interaction log showing 20 mins between two steps). After 20 mins it resumed as if nothing had happened at all, no timeout messages, nothing. I thought it might have been related to the next step where I look up some data in a google sheet including file URLs from dropbox. However I had the same thing happen this afternoon when testing, my flow hung for about 10 mins after I responded to a question choice and the next step was also a question - no external data calls or anything were involved.

Any ideas?

Phil

Hi @Philip_Mccarthy

There were a few similar reports from around the same time/date that you’re showing there. We believe it may be related to a Facebook API version that was deprecated and has since been fixed.

Have you seen the issue happen again this week?
