Outage Details

We're receiving reports that some custom apps/bots may not be working as expected in Slack. This is related to Events API and is a symptom of an earlier incident about trouble connecting to or loading Slack. A separate symptom related to Slack Connect is also occurring where some users are having issues @-mentioning channel members.


We're on the case and will follow up once we know more. We appreciate your patience.

The work we're doing related to the events that queued during the downtime yesterday is still ongoing. We'll provide an update on this as we continue making progress, but it is still expected to take some time.

The issue users were seeing regarding Slack Connect @ mention trouble has now been resolved. Users may need to refresh Slack (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R) for the fix to appear. Thank you for your continued patience

We are continuing to work on events that were created during the downtime yesterday - these are queued and currently paused. We expect this to take time and will update hourly on progress made. Apps and integrations continue to function as normal for new submissions and events.

We have zeroed in on the Slack Connect @ mention issue. When typing an @ mention in the message box, the users name may not appear. We are working to resolve this issue and will update when we have more to share.

We would like to provide an update regarding the current issues in Slack:
Custom applications, workflows and integrations have had their full functionality restored. Any new events that are created via the Events API will be delivered as expected.

Any events that were created during the downtime yesterday are queued and currently paused. Our engineering teams are working on methods to resolve this. It will take some additional time to parse through although we expect to have an update in the near future.

We continue to actively investigate reported issues with Slack Connect @ mentions.
We would like to apologise for the disruption and will continue to communicate any updates moving forwards.
