Slash commands (also known as shortcuts) are special actions you can use in Slack. Tettra’s slash commands let you do the following:
/tettra find {query} to search your knowledge base. /tettra new {title} to create a new page. /tettra request {title} to request a page. /tettra request @user {title} to request a page from that user. /tettra help to view a list of commands as shown below.
To search for a Tettra page from Slack, click the shortcut icon as shown below, search tettra, and click on the Tettra app that will appear above the search field. You can also type /tettra.
Add the word find before the term you want to search for: /tettra find [search term]
The results from Tettra are only visible to you. If you'd like to share a page within a Slack channel, click Share with channel, and the content from the Tettra page will display in Slack.
To create a page request from Slack, you need to add the word request and then the title: /tettra request [title]
You can also assign a page request to a teammate by including an @mention: /tettra suggest @[slack username] [title]
To create page drafts in Tettra right from Slack, you need to add the word new and then the page title: /tettra new [page title]
To edit the draft, click the Edit draft link that will appear, and you'll be redirected to the page editor to write your content.
Just hover over any Slack message, click More actions, select Suggest a page Tettra Wiki, and fill out your page request details.
Once you've done this, three things will happen:
2. A notification will be sent into the Slack channel so that everyone knows the page request was captured.
3. The assignee will be notified via Slack and email that a teammate requested them to write a page.
