# GitLab Slack application **[FREE ONLY]**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
||
|
|
The GitLab Slack application is only configurable for GitLab.com. It will **not**
|
||
|
|
work for on-premises installations where you can configure the
|
||
|
|
[Slack slash commands](slack_slash_commands.md) service instead. We're working
|
||
|
|
with Slack on making this configurable for all GitLab installations, but there's
|
||
|
|
no ETA.
|
||
|
|
It was first introduced in GitLab 9.4 and distributed to Slack App Directory in
|
||
|
|
GitLab 10.2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Slack provides a native application which you can enable via your project's
|
||
|
|
integrations on GitLab.com.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Slack App Directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The simplest way to enable the GitLab Slack application for your workspace is to
|
||
|
|
install the [GitLab application](https://slack-platform.slack.com/apps/A676ADMV5-gitlab) from
|
||
|
|
the [Slack App Directory](https://slack.com/apps).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Clicking install will take you to the
|
||
|
|
[GitLab Slack application landing page](https://gitlab.com/profile/slack/edit)
|
||
|
|
where you can select a project to enable the GitLab Slack application for.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can configure the Slack application with a project's
|
||
|
|
integration settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keep in mind that you need to have the appropriate permissions for your Slack
|
||
|
|
team in order to be able to install a new application, read more in Slack's
|
||
|
|
docs on [Adding an app to your team][slack-docs].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable GitLab's service for your Slack team:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Go to your project's **Settings > Integration > Slack application** (only
|
||
|
|
visible on GitLab.com)
|
||
|
|
1. Click the "Add to Slack" button
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's all! You can now start using the Slack slash commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After confirming the installation, you, and everyone else in your Slack team,
|
||
|
|
can use all the [slash commands].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you perform your first slash command you will be asked to authorize your
|
||
|
|
Slack user on GitLab.com.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only difference with the [manually configurable Slack slash commands][slack-manual]
|
||
|
|
is that all the commands should be prefixed with the `/gitlab` keyword.
|
||
|
|
We are working on making this configurable in the future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, to show the issue number `1001` under the `gitlab-org/gitlab-ce`
|
||
|
|
project, you would do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
/gitlab gitlab-org/gitlab-ce issue show 1001
|
||
|
|
```
