### v4.12.1

- Date: 2026-03-25
- Version: v4.12.1
- Original notes: https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/releases/tag/v4.12.1
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/chatwoot/releases/v4.12.1

- **fixed** — Fixed an issue where AI Assist returned a 404 error in the Community Edition
- **fixed** — Fixed a regression introduced in v4.8.0 where webhook payloads for message_created and message_updated were sending channel-rendered HTML instead of the original raw message content

##### Changelog

- 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_created` and `message_updated` were 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**.
