Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Slack does

Slack is a business communication platform used by millions of teams for messaging, file sharing, and collaboration. It organizes conversations into channels and supports direct messages, voice calls, and integrations with thousands of third-party tools. Slack is owned by Salesforce and is a core productivity tool for remote and hybrid teams.

What an outage looks like

During a Slack outage, messages may fail to send or appear delayed by minutes or hours. The desktop and mobile apps may show connection errors or a perpetual loading screen. File uploads stall, notifications stop arriving, and integrations with tools like Jira, GitHub, and PagerDuty stop delivering alerts.

What to do about it

Check status.slack.com for official incident reports. While Slack is down, fall back to email or an alternative communication tool for urgent matters. Slack messages sent during outages are typically delivered once service is restored, so your messages should not be permanently lost.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Slack is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 18 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Slack outage FAQ

Will my messages be lost if Slack goes down while I'm typing?

Messages that you've already sent but haven't been delivered will be queued and delivered once Slack recovers. However, if you're mid-typing and the app crashes, the unsent message in the compose box may be lost. Slack's draft feature preserves most unsent messages, but it's not guaranteed during outages.

How do I know if Slack is down or it's just my connection?

First, check your internet connection by loading another website. Then visit status.slack.com from your browser. If you can reach other sites but not Slack, and the status page confirms an incident, Slack is down. The Slack app will also display a yellow or red connection banner at the top of the window.

Do Slack integrations work during an outage?

No, integrations that rely on Slack's API will fail during an outage. This includes bot messages, webhook deliveries, and notifications from tools like GitHub, PagerDuty, and Jira. Most integration platforms queue failed deliveries and retry them after Slack recovers.

What should my team use when Slack is down?

Have a backup communication plan before outages happen. Email is the most reliable fallback. Some teams keep a secondary tool like Microsoft Teams or Discord available. For incident response, phone calls or SMS via tools like PagerDuty ensure critical alerts are never missed.

Does Slack have an uptime SLA?

Slack offers a 99.99% uptime SLA for Enterprise Grid customers, with service credits if that threshold isn't met. Business+ and Pro plans do not have a formal SLA. Slack's historical uptime is generally very high, with most incidents being brief and partial.

How we measure this

We request Slack's public endpoint every 30 minutes from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 18 of them.
A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
Where Slack publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.

Get alerted when Slack goes down
