Slash commands in Mattermost and Slack allow you to control GitLab and view GitLab content right inside your chat client, without having to leave it. For Slack, this requires an [integration configuration ](../user/project/integrations/slack_slash_commands.md ). Type the command as a message in your chat client to activate it.

Commands are scoped to a project, with a trigger term that is specified during configuration.
We suggest you use the project name as the trigger term for simplicity and clarity.
Taking the trigger term as `project-name` , the commands are:
| Command | Effect |
| ------- | ------ |
| `/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>` |
| `/project-name issue close <id>` | Closes the issue with ID `<id>` |
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30

2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
| `/project-name issue move <id> to <project>` | Moves issue ID `<id>` to `<project>` |
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30

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 ).

## Deploy command

2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
manual action in the pipeline.
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
If there's only one action for a given environment, it is triggered.
If more than one action is defined, GitLab tries to find an action
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
which name equals the environment name we want to deploy to.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
The command returns an error when no matching action has been found.
