As Slack has evolved over the years, we’ve built features and capabilities — like Shared Channels, Threads, and emoji reactions (to name a few) — that the IRC and XMPP gateways aren’t able to handle. Our priority is to provide a secure and high-quality experience across all platforms, and so the time has come to close the gateways.
We know this may affect your workflow in ways that are frustrating or disruptive, and we’re here to help and answer questions. Thank you in advance for making this transition with us.
Please note that the gateways will be closed according to the following schedule:
* March 6, 2018: No longer available to newly-created workspaces
* April 3, 2018: Removed from workspaces where they’re not in use
* May 15, 2018: Closed for all remaining workspaces
If your workspace currently uses gateways, your experience won’t change until May 15th. But we encourage you to prepare for the transition soon. Feel free to contact our support team for help.
