v4.12.1
2026-03-25Changelog
- Fixed an issue where AI Assist returned a 404 error in the Community Edition.
- Fixed a regression introduced in v4.8.0 where webhook payloads for
message_createdandmessage_updatedwere sending channel-rendered HTML instead of the original raw message content.
🔍 Details
Previously, webhook serialization reused the same rendering pipeline used for channel delivery. This caused:
- Markdown to be converted into channel-specific formats (HTML for WebWidget, WhatsApp-formatted text for WhatsApp)
- Messages to be wrapped unnecessarily:
bold→<p><strong>bold</strong></p>- Plain text → wrapped in
<p>tags
⚠️ Impact
This behavior could break downstream parsing logic, NLP pipelines, and external integrations expecting raw, unformatted text.
✅ Recommendation
If you are running v4.8.0 or later and rely on agent bots or webhook integrations, we recommend upgrading to v4.12.1.
