Slack Slash Commands API is one of 115 APIs that [Slack](https://apis.io/providers/slack/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Commands and Interactivity. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Slack Slash Commands allow users to invoke app functionality directly from the message composer box by typing a forward slash followed by a command name and optional parameters. When a user triggers a slash command, Slack sends an HTTP POST request to the app's configured Request URL with details about the command, user, channel, and any text entered. The app can respond with a message (visible to everyone or only to the invoking user), open a modal, or trigger other interactive flows.
