Feb 27, 2026 | by openstatus | [notifications]

Meet the OpenStatus Slack agent — manage your incidents without leaving Slack.

Mention @openstatus in any channel to create, update, and resolve incidents or schedule maintenance windows. Your status page and subscribers stay in sync automatically.

Here's what you can do:

• Create incidents — @openstatus create an incident for the payment API – high latency detected.
• Update incidents — @openstatus keep the status page updated that we are still monitoring the issue.
• Resolve incidents — @openstatus resolve the ongoing incident on my API status page.
• Schedule maintenance — @openstatus schedule a maintenance window for my database next Friday from 2–3 PM.

Head to Settings > Integrations in your dashboard to install the Slack agent.
