Slack Commands
Running incidents and executing Runbooks can be done directly in Slack, where your team is already accustomed to working. This article details the complete list of FireHydrant bot's Slack commands.
Multiple command aliases can be used to execute FireHydrant Slack bot commands:
- /fh
- /firehydrant
- /incident
For this article, we will utilize /fh
.
Specific commands can be run anywhere, while others can only be run in an active incident channel. We will denote these contexts as general vs. incident commands.

These commands can be run anywhere within Slack and at any time, including within incident channels.
