    "team_id": "T123ABC456",
    "api_app_id": "A123ABC456",
    "event": {
        "type": "goodbye"
    },
    "type": "event_callback",
    "authed_users": [
        "U123ABC456",

}

The goodbye event may be sent by a server that expects it will close the connection after an unspecified amount of time. A well formed client should reconnect to avoid data loss.

Other scenarios where you might encounter the goodbye event are:

  • reaching the maximum duration of a RTM web socket connection (8 hours)
  • your workspace has been inactive for over two minutes
