Custom Slash Commands

Daniel Herrera Smith
I work heavily with slash commands. It would be awesome to be able to define my own slash commands, kind of like a macro of existing commands. The /inbox is a good built-in example. A custom one could be, for example, "/MyCommandName = assign to Bob, due tomorrow, high priority".

This would be soooo great!

This would be very helpful.

This would be helpful.
Also, I would really like to be able to change the key from / to \ . / usually means "or" when typing out some form of list in a normal line of text - e.g., apples / bananas / oranges. So every time you press it, the slash command modal pops up.
Whereas \ is rarely used in text.

Holy bananas, this would be insanely helpful. +1 for custom fields as well.

Yes I would like it to change custom fields, task types, trigger an automation by force, etc.

We work with textblaze and to use textblaze or something like it with custom slash commands in CU would be a gamechanger.

It would be great if we could define custom commands which are replaced with templates in the text editor. For example if you frequently use a custom file template in your business you could type /newprojecttemplate, or perhaps for a long email address /myemail to auto-populate your email. Or if there's a phrase you use frequently you could add a command to save typing the whole thing in every time!

The quickest way to make this work would be to allow slash commands to hit an endpoint that would then have access to the API to do stuff.
So, if you wanted to be able to quickly assign to a person, set a status and priority to high, and @ all the managers all in one command, you create a custom command that goes to your endpoint, obviously with context of where the slash is being typed that would then have the endpoint do the scripting and send back a response.
This would allow everything everyone is asking in this thread plus the ability for me to create a custom slash command that pulls in todays numbers from hitting a simple endpoint. (Like how slack works)
This would also open up a whole world of custom slash commands the community could build. e.g. Hit Zapier, interface with quickbooks, pull CRM data, text through dialpad, etc.

Would love to do a custom command for comments or chained actions (assign to person, set status, etc.)
