Is Slack down?

Is Slack down for you right now?

Everything above is read from Slack's own status feed. This is what other visitors are saying in the last 24 hours — useful when the feed is green and you are still stuck, and never used to change the status above.

What Slack is

Slack is a workplace messaging platform: channels, direct messages, huddles, file sharing and a large app and integration ecosystem. Because so much is built on its APIs, a Slack incident frequently breaks other teams' internal tooling along with the chat itself.

What Slack's status feed covers

Slack publishes its own status API rather than using Statuspage, returning an overall state plus a list of currently active incidents. isuptime reports degraded when any incident is active. Slack's own convention is worth knowing: it describes most problems as affecting a subset of teams, because its infrastructure is sharded — an incident that is total for your workspace can be invisible to another company on the same day.

isuptime reads this feed on a schedule and reports what it says — how that works, in detail.
