Manually re-signing back into Houseful Slack
Overview
Following work performed on the evening of 31st January 2025, Houseful Slack's workspace URL has changed from zoopla.slack.com to houseful.slack.com.
Usually, when you are prompted to re-sign back in to Houseful Slack - typically symbolised by a yellow triangle next to the workspace's icon
- clicking it should take you to a login screen where you will be asked to Sign in with Houseful Azure AD.
In the event that this doesn't happen, please follow these instructions for manual remediation.
