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 +``` + +[slack-docs]: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/202035138-Adding-apps-to-your-team +[slash commands]: ../../../integration/slash_commands.md +[slack-manual]: slack_slash_commands.md |
