**Zapier – Slack "Find Message" Action Unable to Locate Bot Messages** For approximately 59.5 hours, Zapier's Slack "Find Message" action failed to return results for bot messages in Slack channels, while searches for human messages continued to work normally. Affected users encountered "Nothing could be found for the search" errors or received incorrect matches pointing to non-bot messages, disrupting dependent Zap workflows. Zapier coordinated with Slack to investigate the root cause, though the incident remained under investigation throughout its duration.
