Create, search, and share your knowledge base articles all without leaving Slack. Here's a complete list of commands you can use to power up your knowledge base.

HelpDocs Slack Commands

When you connect the Slack integration we add a /command to your team. Just type /hd

This lets you interact with your content. On any command you can add help to get a list of all the things you can do.

The first time you use a /command you'll be prompted to log in to HelpDocs. If you're desperate to do this manually just type /hd connect.
