This morning’s Slack outage appears to have come out of the blue, with a huge spike in alerts sent to DownDetector so far around 10.00am BST
Despite the huge spike in outage alerts, Slack is saying there are no problems on its side – with the company’s status page reporting no issues.
We’ve contacted the company to get a comment, and will upload here when we receive anything.
Scratch that – the page has just updated, with Slack now confirming there are some problems.
“Something’s not quite right,” the company says in its error field for issues concerning “Messaging” – meaning users are unable to send and receive messages right now.
We’ve had a little more information on the “incident” from Slack itself, via the status page:
“Users may be experiencing trouble with sending messages in Slack. We’re investigating and will let you know as soon as we know more. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.”
