If you want to control and view GitLab content while you're
working in Slack and Mattermost, you can use slash commands.
Type the command as a message in your chat client to activate it.
For Slack, this requires an [integration configuration ](../user/project/integrations/slack_slash_commands.md ).
2017-05-31 05:50:53 +00:00
2021-09-02 18:10:52 +00:00
Slash commands are scoped to a project
and require the trigger command specified during configuration.
2017-07-28 09:09:12 +00:00
2021-09-02 18:10:52 +00:00
We suggest you use the project name as the trigger command for simplicity and clarity.
2017-07-28 09:09:12 +00:00
2021-09-02 18:10:52 +00:00
Assuming `project-name` is the trigger command, the slash commands are:
2017-05-31 05:50:53 +00:00
| Command | Effect |
| ------- | ------ |
2021-09-02 18:10:52 +00:00
| `/project-name help` | Shows all available slash commands. |
| `/project-name issue new <title> <shift+return> <description>` | Creates a new issue with title `<title>` and description `<description>` . |
| `/project-name issue show <id>` | Shows the issue with ID `<id>` . |

If you are using the [GitLab Slack application ](../user/project/integrations/gitlab_slack_application.md ) for
your GitLab.com projects, [add the `gitlab` keyword at the beginning of the command ](../user/project/integrations/gitlab_slack_application.md#usage ).

## Issue commands
2021-09-02 18:10:52 +00:00
You can create a new issue, display issue details, and search up to 5 issues.
2017-07-28 09:09:12 +00:00
## Deploy command
2021-01-30 00:09:06 +00:00
To deploy to an environment, GitLab tries to find a deployment
2017-07-28 10:16:07 +00:00
manual action in the pipeline.
2017-07-28 09:09:12 +00:00
2021-01-30 00:09:06 +00:00
If there's only one action for a given environment, it is triggered.
2021-09-02 18:10:52 +00:00
If more than one action is defined, GitLab finds an action
name that equals the environment name to deploy to.
2017-07-28 09:09:12 +00:00
2021-09-02 18:10:52 +00:00
The command returns an error if no matching action is found.
