Slack Marketplace listing freshness before delisting
Keep the Marketplace page, pricing, support response path, and policy links current so the directory stays a reliable operating surface instead of a stale brochure.
Why this can grow a startup
Enterprise buyers and workspace admins do not separate the listing from the product as neatly as founders do. Slack treats that page like part of the app experience: functionality changes, pricing changes, and visual changes need to be reflected there, and support cannot go dark. The practical gain is trust. The harsher gain is survival. If the listing is stale or support goes quiet, the page stops helping distribution and starts putting the app at risk of being de-listed.
Source guidance
Slack's post-approval requirements say listings must stay up to date, customer support must stay timely, and Slack may de-list an app if it does not respond promptly or if associated support and policy links break.

- Record a baseline for: Share of the target cohort repeating the core action within the chosen period. Set a guardrail that would make you pause the test.
- Run a narrow pilot and choose a test window that fits the normal decision or use cycle; do not scale before you have observed the full cycle.
- Compare the signal with its baseline. Scale only if the intended action improves without crossing the guardrail; otherwise revise one variable or stop and record what you learned.
