Trigger features with slash commands in Slack
under review
Matthias Werner
Initially, I thought about it like "/ply feature_X" which triggers the feature X -- this would be crazy! :)
Slack is our main hub for almost everything, this is were everything happens and where all notifications are coming together.
Some use cases might be:
- logging Slack messages in HubSpot (or any other destination) -- [I think this would work even better with a dedicated button but our team doesn't use Slack in the browser but only the desktop app, and as far as I understand, buttons only work in the browser for Slack]
- enroll leads into Ply workflows from Slack (this would keep our HubSpot UI cleaner because right now, I am adding button after button)
In general, I think it would be similar to the your command bar capabilities, however, having it in Slack would be more immersive and intuitive, because I assume not everybody is using the command bar regularly, especially our windows folks.

Hey, we're looking into this.
If you have specific slash command use-cases that you'd like to implement it would be great if you share them as a comment. It'll help us understand the scope of building this and how useful it can be.

Ohh, I like this idea. Putting it on the "worth research" list :)
If anyone has more ideas here. Would love to hear.
