Slash Commands

This page details how to use slash (/) commands to filter requests directly in Slack

Slash Commands

Using ClearFeed Slash commands, agents can easily and quickly filter and view requests.

• ClearFeed Slash commands can be used by typing /cf requests in a Slack channel.

• The commands can be run either in request channels or triage channels. Channels need to be monitored by ClearFeed for the commands to be run.

  • If slash commands are run in a triage channel, all requests in the channels for which the triage channel is set up will be shown.

  • If slash commands are run in a request channel, then only requests that are present in that channel will be shown.

• Use /cf requests to open an interactive input (this will be only visible to you) which will allow agents to filter requests based on channel, status, assignee, duration, and request type.

You can also leverage the slash commands to filter requests directly from the chat box without needing to fill the interactive modal. The filters can be used in conjunction with /cf requests.

For example, if an agent wants to filter requests in a triage channel with the following conditions:

• They are the assignee.

• Requests are from a specific channel

• The status of the request is On Hold

This can be achieved directly using the below-mentioned slash command:

/cf requests --assignee @Jaynil Pandya --status=on_hold --channel=#request-sandbox

Command-line-like options to filter requests using Slash Commands

/cf requests — Perform operations on requests

- empty or list — List requests

--assignee — Filter by request assignees. Tag the users using the @ symbol. Use all to get requests irrespective of their assignee. Use empty to get requests which are unassigned. Defaults to requests assigned to you. --status — Filter by request statuses. Allowed values are open, in_progress, closed and on_hold. Use all to get requests irrespective of their status. Defaults to requests which are open and in progress. --channel — If the command is run in a triage channel, an additional filter over the channels for which the triage channel is set up can be applied. Tag the channels using the # symbol. Defaults to all channels belonging to the triage channel. --duration — Duration within which the requests have been raised. Positive and negative values represent newer than or older than respectively. For example, --duration 7 means requests newer than 7 days and --duration -7 means requests older than 7 days. Defaults to requests newer than 30 days. --start — Filter by start date. For example, --start 2023-01-15 means requests newer than the start of 15th Jan 2023. --end — Filter by end date. For example, --end '15 Jan 2023' means requests older than the end of 15th Jan 2023. --type — Filter by request types. Allowed values are all, with-tickets. For example, --type with-tickets filters the requests to include only those that are associated with a ticket. Defaults to all requests or with-tickets depending upon whether triage settings are configured for all requests or with tickets.

/cf help — Display usage information. Use the --help flag for more information on a command.
