👋 Friendly reminder that deploy blockers are time-sensitive ⏱ issues! Check out the open Staging deploy checklist to see the list of PRs included in this release, then work quickly on the following:

1. If you find which PR caused the issue/bug, you can reassign it to the person responsible for it.
   • If the author is OOO or won’t get online before the daily deploy is due, you are responsible for finding the best fix/path forward. Don’t hesitate to ask for help!
2. Try to reproduce the issue, if the bug is on production, remove the DeployBlocker label but stay assigned to fix it (or find out which PR broke it to get help from the author).
   • You can adjust the urgency of the issue to better represent the gravity of the bug.
   • If the issue is super low priority, feel free to un-assign yourself.
   • Be careful with PHP warnings, sometimes it is more complex than just adding a null coalescing operator as they might be uncovering some bigger bug.
   • If it was a one-off issue that requires no action (for example, Bedrock was down or it is a duplicated issue), you can close it.

Remember rule #2: Never un-assign yourself from a real DeployBlocker unless you are 100% sure someone else is assigned and will take care of it.

Doesn't affect Gmail accounts.

This sounds suspect to me. Is this behind a beta or something?

It returns if you refresh the page on web and mWeb.

also sounds like a BE problem.

Seems potentially related to #41892 cc @thienlnam

[thienlnam]

This just happens for expensifail accounts?? 😕

[thienlnam]

I wonder if this is because the accounts are getting created in a different flow than the typical CreateAccount where the shouldCreateSelfDM flag is added. This should be resolved here. Additionally if this is just for expensifail accounts we can demote this

[marcaaron]

Ah yeah that seems like a good guess. Gonna let you figure this out 🏃‍♂️

@thienlnam Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[melvin-bot]

@thienlnam Still overdue 6 days?! Let's take care of this!

[melvin-bot]

@thienlnam 10 days overdue. Is anyone even seeing these? Hello?

Not a daily, going to be resolved as part of this issue https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/395534
