I hope this message finds you well. We wanted to provide you with an important update regarding our platform. In our ongoing commitment to deliver a robust and high-performing service, we will conduct a significant update to our platform, which includes upgrading backend libraries. This update is aimed at improving platform stability and improving overall performance.

Key details of this update:

Downtime: Approximately 13 hours
Schedule: Saturday November 4th 2023 - 02:00AM Dutch time

During this downtime, the platform will be temporarily unavailable for regular use. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and want to assure you that we have tasks steps to minimize disruption.

Data Safety: No data will be lost during this update. All user data, including emails, is preserved, and you can continue to send emails as usual.

Email Handling: During the migration needed for the platform update, email receiver processing will be temporarily disabled, starting on Friday 3rd at 18:00 Dutch time. This means that any emails sent to the platform after this time will not trigger immediate notifications or processing.

All emails received during the downtime will be securely stored and queued for processing. Once the platform update is complete, we will prioritize the processing of these queued emails. This delayed processing ensures that no email data is lost, and all your communications will be processed as soon as the platform is back online.

Please note that, due to the volume of emails in the queue, there may be a delay in processing time. While we will work diligently to expedite the processing, it can take more than 24 hours for all emails to be fully processed. We understand the importance of timely communication and will make every effort to minimize potential delays.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this scheduled update. Our team is working diligently to complete this process as swiftly as possible while maintaining the highest standards of quality and security. The improvements gained from this update will significantly benefit our users, providing a more stable and faster platform for your business needs.

If you have any questions or concerns about this update, please do not hesitate to contact our support team atsupport@econnect.eu. We will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have.
