You can execute commands, called slash commands, by typing into the text input box to perform operations in Polysentry. To run a slash command, type / followed by a command and some arguments to perform actions.

‍

Built-In Commands

Built-in slash commands come with all Polysentry installations and custom slash commands are configurable to interact with external applications.

Begin by typing /. A list of slash command options displays above the text input box. The autocomplete suggestions provide you with a format example in black text and a short description of the slash command in grey text.

‍

Custom Commands

Custom slash commands can integrate with external applications. For example, a team might configure a custom slash command to check internal health records with /patient joe smith or check the weekly weather forecast in a city with /weather toronto week. Check with your System Admin, or open the autocomplete list by typing /, to determine whether custom slash commands are available for your organization.

‍

Custom slash commands are disabled by default and can be enabled by the System Admin in the System Console > Integrations > Webhooks and Commands.
