|
|
|
|
Execute actions with simple commands inside Mattermost. Learn how to [run Mattermost slash commands](/integrations-guide/run-slash-commands).
|
|
|
|
## Built-in slash commands
|
|
|
|
**Technical complexity:** [No-code](./faq#no-code)
|
|
|
|
These out-of-the-box commands enable command line interaction with users, channels, and conversations. Examples of pre-built slash commands include `/invite` to add teammates to a channel, `/header` to set a channel description, or `/call` to start or join a call in a channel.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can interact with the data model programmatically using [API endpoints](https://api.mattermost.com/). Responses are posted as the user who invoked the command, with possible username/icon overrides.
|
|
|
|
Learn more about [built-in slash commands](/integrations-guide/built-in-slash-commands) available in Mattermost.

|
|
## Custom slash commands
|
|
|
|
**Technical complexity:** [Low-code](./faq#low-code)
|
|
|
|
Slash commands are similar to an outgoing webhooks, but instead of listening for keywords in a channel they are triggered by users explicitly typing a preconfigured command. Using slash commands is similar to using a command line within a channel. This means if you type in a slash command it will execute without posting a message, whereas an outgoing webhook is only triggered by posted messages. The external service then processes the request and can return a response, such as plain text, rich message content, interactive buttons or forms, directly into the channel.
|
|
|
|
Mattermost's slash command format is Slack compatible, so you can easily migrate your commands from Slack.
|
|
|
|

|
|
### Example Use Cases
|
|
|
|
Here are some example use cases for slash commands in Mattermost:
|
|
|
|
**Project management**
|
|
|
|
Typing `/jira create` opens an interactive dialog where you can file a new Jira issue directly from Mattermost, including fields like summary, description, and priority.
|
|
|
|
**Incident response**
|
|
|
|
Using `/pagerduty trigger` can open a form to start a new incident, notify on-call responders, and post details back into the channel so the team can coordinate.
|
|
|
|
**Knowledge retrieval**
|
|
|
|
A command like `/docs search authentication` queries your documentation system and returns a list of relevant articles rendered using [Mattermost Blocks](https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/reference/mm-blocks/) with links.
