Slash Commands
Slack comes with a lot of amazing features and this integration with Easy Digital Downloads takes advantage of more than a few. One unique and powerful feature is Slash Commands. Slash Commands in Slack allow for a command to be entered and a custom response to be returned.
The EDD Slack extension currently supports the following Slash Commands:
- /edd help – returns a list of all available commands and their parameters.
- /edd sales {period} – returns a sales summary for the given period (today, yesterday, this_month, last_month, etc.)
- /edd version – Outputs the current version of Easy Digital Downloads.
- /edd discount – Outputs information about a Discount Code. This can also be used to create new Discount Codes.
- /edd customer – Outputs information about a Customer.
