# Slack slash commands **(CORE ONLY)**
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in GitLab 8.15.
|
|
|
|
Slack slash commands allow you to control GitLab and view content right inside
|
|
Slack, without having to leave it. This requires configurations in both Slack and GitLab.
|
|
|
|
GitLab can also send events (e.g., `issue created`) to Slack as notifications.
|
|
This is the separately configured [Slack Notifications Service](slack.md).
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
For GitLab.com, use the [Slack app](gitlab_slack_application.md) instead.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. Slack slash commands are scoped to a project. Navigate to the [Integrations page](overview.md#accessing-integrations) in your project's settings, i.e. **Project > Settings > Integrations**.
|
|
1. Select the **Slack slash commands** integration to configure it. This page contains required information to complete the configuration in Slack. Leave this browser tab open.
|
|
1. Open a new browser tab and sign in to your Slack team. [Start a new Slash Commands integration](https://my.slack.com/services/new/slash-commands).
|
|
1. Enter a trigger term. We suggest you use the project name. Click **Add Slash Command Integration**.
|
|
1. Complete the rest of the fields in the Slack configuration page using information from the GitLab browser tab. In particular, the URL needs to be copied and pasted. Click **Save Integration** to complete the configuration in Slack.
|
|
1. While still on the Slack configuration page, copy the **token**. Go back to the GitLab browser tab and paste in the **token**.
|
|
1. Ensure that the **Active** toggle is enabled and click **Save changes** to complete the configuration in GitLab.
