Slack alerts no longer correctly apply markdown

Looker alerts into Slack used to nicely follow Slack’s mrkdwn rules for displaying URLs (here). However on Mar 20th they stopped doing this for us. See a snip below of exactly the same unedited alert, sent on the same date, 2 hours apart. The exact text used in the alert below is:

:wave: Hello <@[user ID]>! There are [redacted text]. See Look

File names are also not making it through - they all display as ‘untitled’.

Any ideas? We’re self-hosting Looker on version 22.16.28
