chat.command

This method executes a slash command in a public channel.

Arguments

This method has the URL https://slack.com/api/chat.command and follows the Slack Web API calling conventions.

Argument Example Required Description
token xxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx Required Authentication token (Requires scope: post)
channel C12345678 Required ID of the public channel to execute the command in
command /who Required Slash command to be executed. Leading backslash is required.
text xxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx Optional Additional parameters provided to the slash command

Response

You will receive a response in JSON indicating if the command has been executed successfully or not with the ok variable. For some internal commands (e.g. /who) the response of the slash command will be provided in the response variable. For most slash commands the response will instead be produced in the channel on Slack.

{
"ok": true,
"response": "Users here: ..."
}

In case of errors you will receive a standard Slack API response in JSON as described here.

Errors & Warnings

Error Description
missing_scope The method requires the scope post. Since this scope does not seam to be availble in the app config window you need to provide a legacy token for this to work.
