# Chat Commands
Chat commands allow user to perform common operations on GitLab right from there chat client.
Right now both Mattermost and Slack are supported.
## Available commands
The trigger is configurable, but for the sake of this example, we'll use `/trigger`
* `/trigger help` - Displays all available commands for this user
* `/trigger issue new <title> <shift+return> <description>` - creates a new issue on the project
* `/trigger issue show <id>` - Shows the issue with the given ID, if you've got access
* `/trigger issue search <query>` - Shows a maximum of 5 items matching the query
* `/trigger deploy <from> to <to>` - Deploy from an environment to another
# Slack slash commands
> Introduced in GitLab 8.15
Slack commands give users an extra interface to perform common operations
from the chat environment. This allows one to, for example, create an issue as
soon as the idea was discussed in chat.
For all available commands try the help subcommand, for example: `/gitlab help`,
all review the [full list of commands](../integrations/chat_commands.md).
## Prerequisites
A [team](https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/217608418-Creating-a-team) in Slack should be created beforehand, GitLab cannot create it for you.
## Configuration
First, navigate to the Slack Slash commands service page, found at your project's
**Settings** > **Services**, and you find the instructions there:

Once you've followed the instructions, mark the service as active and insert the token
you've received from Slack. After saving the service you are good to go!
