# Interacting With the Arnica Slackbot

Use Arnica Slackbot commands to quickly access your risks from Slack

## Overview

Once the Slack integration is complete, you can use chat commands in a private chat with the Arnica bot, or in any channel the bot has been added to, to reach the relevant risk views in Arnica without leaving Slack.

The Arnica Slackbot responds with secure links that take you directly to the requested risk context in the Arnica application. Opening one of these links shows a limited view that includes only the risks relevant to the command, such as your own risks or the risks for products you own.

## Commands

The following `/arnica` commands are currently available:

| Command                 | What it does                                    |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `/arnica risks mine`    | Returns a secure link to risks assigned to you. |
| `/arnica risks product` | Returns a link to risks for products you own.   |

{% hint style="info" %}
The `/arnica` prefix applies to Slack. In Microsoft Teams, type the command without it — `risks mine` in a private chat, or `@Arnica risks mine` in a channel. See [Interacting With the Arnica Teams Bot](/arnica-documentation/getting-started/chatops/microsoft-teams/interacting-with-the-arnica-teams-bot.md).
{% endhint %}

## Example interaction flow

1. Open your private chat with the Arnica Slackbot.
2. Type one of the supported `/arnica` commands:
   * `/arnica risks mine`
   * `/arnica risks product`
3. Submit the command and wait for the Arnica Slackbot response.
4. Select the secure link in the response to open the relevant view in Arnica.

## What to expect in the response

* The Arnica Slackbot replies in Slack with a secure link.
* The secure link opens the relevant Arnica page with pre-filtered context.
* Depending on your access scope, the response can differ between personal risks and product-level risks.

## Troubleshooting

* **No response from a command**: Confirm Arnica is installed in Slack. If you are running the command from a channel, confirm the bot has been added to that channel, as described in [Adding Arnica to a New Channel](/arnica-documentation/getting-started/chatops/slack/adding-arnica-to-a-new-channel.md).
* **Missing access or empty results**: Confirm your user is mapped correctly in Arnica and has permissions to the relevant [products](https://app.arnica.io/#/inventory/products).
* **Command not recognized**: Confirm the command is typed exactly as shown, including the leading `/arnica`.
