# Slack

### Setup

You'll need an active Pulse account and access to OCV's Slack workspace.

1. In Slack, run `/pulse auth`
2. Click '**Authenticate with Pulse**'
3. Accept the Slack authorization

Your Slack and Pulse accounts are now linked. To unlink, go visit your Profile in Pulse.

### Available Commands

1. `/ops help` - Lists all available commands.
2. `/ops details <company name>` - Returns info about a company. The name is fuzzy-matched, so partial names or minor typos will still work.
3. `/ops domain <name>` - Checks domain availability across multiple TLDs. Results are visible to everyone in the channel.
4. `/ops headline <title>` - Evaluates a potential blog post title against criteria known to perform well. Returns a pass/fail rating.&#x20;
5. `/ops recon <repo URL>` - Pulls metrics for a GitHub or GitLab repo (such as recent commits, merged pull requests, contributors).

### Link Previews

When you paste a Pulse link in Slack, it automatically expands with relevant details about the resource. Repo links pasted in public channels also auto-expand with project metrics - the same you'd get from `/ops recon`.&#x20;
