  CA Flowdock was a team chat and shared team-inbox product originally
  founded as Flowdock in Helsinki / Tampere, Finland (Nodeta Oy spin-off,
  ~2010), acquired by CA Technologies in 2013, and operated under Broadcom
  after Broadcom's 2018 acquisition of CA. The hosted service and all
  public APIs (REST, Push, Streaming, SCIM) were discontinued on
  August 15, 2023. Broadcom's sunset notice directed customers to
  Microsoft Teams or Slack as successor products. This profile is an
  archival record assembled from the public api-docs repository and
  archived snapshots of the developer portal.
