HiThrive incident

Elevated errors posting to Slack channels

Resolved after 1 hour 47 minutes, on August 21, 2024.

We've identified this issue and deployed a fix. Slack was returning errors when we tried posting shoutouts with GIFs attached to them. This issue specifically affected GIFs from Tenor.com (the service we use for GIF searching). We've deployed an image proxy to route the GIFs through before posting them to Slack. Any shoutouts that weren't previously posted due to this issue have been posted to their original channels.
