In order to get Slash Commands up and running with your app, you'll have to create the command itself, then prepare your app to be able to handle the interaction flow. We want to make sure that birthday cake gets baked, so read on to find out how to setup commands for your apps, and how to handle and respond to them.

Slash Commands cannot be used in message threads. Make sure you understand your app's audience before implementation. Slash Commands require a particular invocation structure that makes them less universally usable compared to other app entry points.
When part of an app, they can be easily installed for your workspace as an single workspace app or shared with the world, distributed to other workspaces via the App Directory. Some commands like /topic and /remind are built into Slack ( here's a list of all of them) but others are created by developers like you for use with Slack Apps. They're the knock at your app's front door that could be the start of a great conversation.

The app can then respond in whatever way it wants using the context provided by that payload. Slash Commands allow users to invoke your app by typing a string into the message composer box.Ī submitted Slash Command will cause a payload of data to be sent from Slack to the associated app.
