We took action to lift the sending block for all affected free-plan workspaces, and have confirmed messaging is now restored. We apologize for how this incident affected you and your business. We will undertake a full investigation of the incident, establishing the technical trigger, the underlying cause, and preventive action to avoid a repeat in the future.

Questions

Is Slack down right now?

Slack’s official status page says: All Systems Operational. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.

When was Slack last down?

The most recent incident Slack reported was “Single Sign On errors”, 2 days ago (2026-10-14 00:23 UTC). None of its incidents in the last 90 days were a full outage.

What should I do if Slack is down?

Use a backup channel for anything urgent, and expect delayed messages or notifications to arrive in a burst after recovery.

Slack messages send but huddles won't connect?

Calls/huddles are a separate service area from Messaging on status.slack.com — audio/video can fail while text chat is fine.

Files won't upload but chat is fine?

'File uploads' is its own service area, as are Link Previews, Search and Notifications — each can degrade independently of messaging.

A Slack Connect channel is silent — same as a normal outage?

'Connections' (Slack Connect) is tracked separately — cross-org messaging can lag while your own workspace messaging is unaffected.

How do I tell if Slack is down for everyone or only for me?

If the status above is operational but Slack still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.

How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?

OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
