# Slack

Monitor Slack event notification delivery and logs.

Source: https://statusdashboard.com/docs/notifications/slack

> This is a plan-gated feature. If it isn't available in your account, visit the [Billing](/docs/org-mgmt/billing) page or contact support to review your options.

This page covers Block Kit message format, send history, and delivery logs for Slack event notifications. Open [Slack history](/app/notifications/slack/history) and [Slack delivery logs](/app/notifications/slack/logs) in the admin console. For OAuth setup and admin controls, see [Slack integrations](/docs/integrations/slack). For how visitors subscribe on `/subscribe`, see [Slack subscriptions](/docs/status-dashboards/subscriptions/slack).

When an event with **Notifications** enabled triggers a delivery, matching verified Slack subscribers receive a message via the Slack API describing the event at send time. For incidents and maintenance, the message includes an **Impact Analysis** section after the description when that field is set (before affected components).

Description, impact analysis, and timeline messages keep the formatting you author in the event editor: **bold**, *italic*, strikethrough, inline code, links, and bullet or numbered lists.

For how **Visibility** and subscription toggles affect delivery across channels, see [Notifications overview — FAQ](/docs/notifications#frequently-asked-questions). Turning the dashboard **Subscriptions** Slack toggle off hides public sign-up; existing verified channels still receive deliveries.

## Monthly integration message limit
Outbound webhook, Teams, Google Chat, and Slack deliveries share an organization monthly integration message limit (UTC calendar month). Usage appears on [Overview](/app) and integration or notification screens.

* When the limit is reached, further deliveries are skipped (logged as skipped for quota) and are not retried.
* Event saves always succeed — the limit applies only to asynchronous outbound delivery.

## Send history
[Slack history](/app/notifications/slack/history) shows a UTC calendar-month bar graph of **event notification Slack deliveries** per day. Navigate **13 months** of history with previous/next month controls. Counts match the event-notification portion of your combined integration delivery quota (history is tracked per channel). All bucketing uses UTC calendar days and months.

## Delivery logs
[Slack delivery logs](/app/notifications/slack/logs) list individual delivery attempts. Each row includes:

| Field                 | Meaning                                                                  |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Channel**           | Human-readable `#channel · workspace` label                              |
| **Status**            | Aggregate outcome — **Accepted**, **Failed**, or **Skipped** (see below) |
| **HTTP status**       | Slack API response code when applicable                                  |
| **Event / dashboard** | Related event and dashboard when applicable                              |
| **Error**             | Short client-side reason on failures                                     |

Open a row for request and response bodies (may be truncated). Logs are retained for **30 days**. **Bot tokens are never logged or returned.**

Each log includes a **delivery timeline** with one step — integration delivery is a single HTTP round-trip. Status reflects the Slack API response, not delivery inside the Slack client.

### Status values
| Status                   | Meaning                                                                                                                                                                         |
