Shortcuts let users quickly trigger workflows from various prominent locations within Slack. Shortcuts can trigger modals and other app interactions . When someone uses one of your shortcuts, your app will receive some context about what happened in an interaction payload . They are gateways to powerful, productive workflows. Apps can create global shortcuts that are available from anywhere in Slack, and message shortcuts that are shown only in message context menus. Global shortcuts are available to users via the shortcuts button in the message composer (hint: it looks like this / ), and when using search in Slack.
