Decuga's Slack bot now understands whiteboard commands — create a board, list all boards with their direct links, or delete one, all without leaving Slack.
Decuga's Slack bot now understands plain-English whiteboard requests. No slash commands to memorise — just describe what you want and the bot figures out the intent. The bot responds with the result and, for create and list commands, a clickable link that takes you straight to the board.
Mention the Decuga bot in any channel and ask it to create a whiteboard. The bot creates the board immediately and replies with the board name and a direct link.
"@Decuga create a whiteboard called Sprint 14 Architecture" → bot replies with the board name and a clickable link. Your teammate clicks it and lands directly in the new board.
Ask the bot to list whiteboards and it returns every board in the project, each with its own direct link. This makes sharing a specific board in a Slack thread as simple as asking the bot and copying the link from its reply — no browser navigation required.
Ask the bot to delete a board by name. The bot does a fuzzy title match — so "delete the Sprint 12 retro" works even if the board is named "Sprint 12 Retrospective". It replies with a confirmation once the board is removed.
Deletion is permanent
Whiteboard deletion from Slack removes the board and all its content permanently. The bot does not ask for a confirmation step — use the Decuga UI delete flow (which shows a confirmation modal) if you want that safety check.
Every create and list response includes a formatted Slack message with the board title and a direct Decuga URL. The URL is clickable inline in Slack, so teammates can jump directly to the board without opening a separate browser tab to navigate there.
| Command type | What the bot replies with |
|---|---|
| Create whiteboard | Board name + direct link to the new board |
| List whiteboards | Bulleted list — each board name with its direct link |
| Delete whiteboard | Confirmation that the board was deleted |
Whiteboard commands are available as soon as the Slack connector is connected. Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack, connect the bot, and assign it to a channel. The bot reads the project context from the channel it's been added to. No additional configuration is needed for whiteboard commands — they work alongside the existing task, ticket, and notification features.
The Decuga bot infers the current project from the Slack channel it's been configured for. Make sure the bot is invited to the channel with /invite @Decuga before sending commands.
