Hey, All – as I focus on other priorities, I no longer see myself being able to properly maintain Hey, Interrupt or get back to any feature improvements. Rather than keep it running, unmaintained, or deal with transfer of data and operations, I've decided it's time to sunset the interrupt bot. The timeline is…

  • July 14, 2023 – the "Interrupt App" and related services will stop responding to mentions and interactions in Slack workspaces.
  • July 31, 2023 – the management app on heyinterrupt.com will be disabled and replaced with a static sunset notice.
  • August 31, 2023 – any remaining managed security tokens, integrations, and user data will be revoked and purged.

Teams looking for alternatives may want to consider Slack User Groups, channel topic hints, team-specific bots, or one of the solutions available from the Slack App Directory.

Hopefully the interrupt bot has been able to contribute a little extra productivity to your teams and users over its 5+ years of ideas. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out by email. Thanks for being a part of this project.
