 # hubot-slack
 
+### Important Notice
+
+**This project is no longer under active development.** If you’re just getting started, we recommend taking a look at [Bolt for JS with Socket Mode](https://slack.dev/bolt-js/concepts#socket-mode) first. If you’ve been using this project, only critical issues (such as severe security issues) will be addressed, but we advise planning to migrate to the newer SDK.
+
 This is a [Hubot](http://hubot.github.com/) adapter to use with [Slack](https://slack.com).
