Identified

We have been affected by today's AWS outage, which in turn affected Intercom, which we use for our support services to merchants (incl. live chat in Notify Me! management panel), and also Twilio, which we use for sending SMS.

Live chat by Intercom appears to be back now, but we are continuing to experience problems with Twilio, which seriously affects our ability to send SMS for back-in-stock and other notifications. We are closely monitoring the situation and Twilio's communications, and will provide another update in 13:00 UTC or whenever we have more information to share.
