On Wednesday morning, users of Slack, the popular workplace communication platform, faced connectivity issues as the service experienced an outage. Affected individuals reported difficulties accessing Slack, with some unable to load the platform or connect to their accounts.
Slack, headquartered in San Francisco, acknowledged the problem and confirmed it was investigating the disruption. According to an update on their official website, the company identified several impacted areas, including API endpoints, message sending and receiving capabilities, and issues with loading certain threads.
A Slack representative mentioned that further updates on the status of the service restoration would be provided on the company’s status page at status.slack.com.
At the height of the disruption, over 3,000 users reported issues with accessing Slack, according to DownDetector, a website that tracks service outages. However, by late Wednesday morning, the platform began to recover, with many users able to send direct and group messages again and emoticon reactions functioning properly.
