Commands and shortcuts

Last updatedView as Markdown

Everything Sally does outside the standup, from any message box. Nobody has to remember these: /sally on its own lists them, and so does Shortcuts on Sally's Home tab.

Commands

Every command is a full word under /sally. A few also have a short form, and both work. A task is its key, like WC-2294, or a ClickUp task link.

CommandShort formWhat it does
/sally help/sallyLists every command and shortcut, with an Update a task button
/sally tasksYour Needs you now and Today tasks, live from ClickUp, each with Edit
/sally edit WC-2294Opens the edit form
/sally deployed WC-2308Opens the Deployed form
/sally estimate WC-2294 4h/sally est WC-2294 4hSets the estimate
/sally priority WC-2294 high/sally pri WC-2294 highSets the priority: urgent, high, normal or low
/sally due WC-2294 fridayMoves the due date: today, tomorrow, a weekday, 10/20 or 2026-10-20
/sally log WC-2294 1h 30m fixed the headerLogs time for today; anything after the time is the entry's note
/sally done WC-2294Marks it done: Complete, or the list's own closed status
/sally connectConnects your ClickUp account
/sally statusShows whether you're connected and switched on
/standup, /eodStarts today's check-in now
/standup fresh, /eod freshDrafts today's check-in again from ClickUp, replacing the one you have

A command Sally doesn't know gets the help card. One typed wrong says what it expected.

Shortcuts

  • Update a ClickUp task, from the shortcuts menu (the + or lightning button in a message box) or Slack search. Type part of a task's key or name, pick it, and the edit form opens. Your tasks from today's standup come first; a key or link that isn't among them is offered as it is.
  • Add to a ClickUp task, from any message's ⋯ menu. Pick the task, and the message is its note, with a link back to Slack. Save comments it on the task. In the same form you can move the status or log time.

The edit form

FieldNotes
StatusThe statuses the task's list actually has. The likely next ones come first.
Due dateA date that has passed is refused.
PriorityUrgent, high, normal or low.
EstimateTyped as 45m, 2h, 1h 30m, 1.5h or 90. The hint shows what's logged so far.
Log timeWith Spent on: your last working day in a morning standup, today anywhere else.
NoteCommented on the task, and the time entry's description.

Deployed is the same form cut down to status (required), time and note.

When it writes

  • In the standup thread: written when you save, like every other answer, and listed in your standup. The note is commented on the task when you submit.
  • Anywhere else (a command, a shortcut, App Home, /sally tasks): Save to ClickUp writes straight away, as you, and the form shows what landed. Commands answer in the conversation you typed them in.
  • Always as you. With no working ClickUp connection, Sally asks you to reconnect rather than write.
  • Dry run applies. In dry run, Sally logs what it would have written and changes nothing.

App Home

Sally's Home tab has a row of tabs along the top:

TabWhat it shows
Your dayWhether you're set up, today's standup and EOD, today's list, recent check-ins
Needs you nowEvery deploy and estimate waiting on you, live from ClickUp, with Deployed and Edit
TeamPMs and admins: the digest as of now, and who has what waiting on them
ShortcutsThis page, in short

Home opens on the tab you left it on.
