Introducing status page sub-pages

We launched Status Pages earlier this year to help organisations provide their customers with clear and timely communication during incidents, with as little friction as possible.

However, for some organisations, clear communication doesn’t always mean pushing out the same updates to the same audience.

Especially if you’re a B2B company, or operate in multiple geographies, many of you have said you’d really love to be able to provide distinct status pages for every audience but without the additional overhead of managing them all independently.

Today, we’re delighted to announce we’ve shipped Status Page sub-pages.

Sub-pages unlock the ability to:

• Define relationships between different status pages
• Seamlessly provide updates to multiple status pages at once
• Tailor those updates based on the relationships between the pages

Should I be using sub-pages?

If you find yourself needing to communicate with distinct groups or audiences, then sub-pages could work well for you. A few examples of where customers are using this:

• You have a product that operates across multiple regions or geographies, and you would like a separate status page for each of them
• You provide multiple very different products or services and the users of those products are also fairly independent from each other

Check out our help center articles for more information about sub-pages, and guides to help you get up and running with them.

Better incident link previews in Slack

We now show more incident details when you share a link to an incident in Slack.

Public incidents show the title, summary, severity, status, and a link to the channel. Private incidents show just the incident number and a link to the private channel, for those already in it.

We’ve deliberately chosen not to enable this for guest users, or in Slack Connect channels to avoid unintentionally sharing information.
