Slash Commands

Scitor uses slash commands in GitHub Issue and Discussion comments to perform actions. Simply type the command at the beginning of a line in your comment.

Email commands

/send

Reply to the original sender of an email. The text below the command becomes the email body.

/send

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out.

We've investigated your issue and found that...

Best regards,
Support Team

Scitor will:

  • Send the reply to the original email sender
  • Add a 🚀 reaction to your comment on success
  • Post a confirmation comment (unless disabled)

/sendall

Reply to the sender and all CC/TO recipients from the original email.

/sendall

Hi everyone,

Here's an update on the issue you reported...

Info

Both /send and /sendall count toward your monthly outbound email limit (100 on Free, 500 on Pro).

Formatting tips

  • Write your reply in Markdown — it’s converted to rich HTML email
  • Images are supported — they’re embedded inline in the email
  • Private repository images are automatically fetched and included

Sender management

/block-sender

Block the sender of the current email from creating future issues. Their email address is hashed and stored securely.

/block-sender

Warning

Blocked senders’ emails are silently dropped. They will not receive any notification that they’ve been blocked.

/unblock-sender

Remove a sender from the block list.

/unblock-sender

Configuration commands

/set-from-address

Set a custom sender email address and display name for outbound emails.

/set-from-address support@yourcompany.com "Acme Support"

Without domain verification, only @scitor.io and @mail.scitor.io addresses are allowed.

/skip-success-comment

Toggle the confirmation comment that appears after a successful /send.

/skip-success-comment true

Set to false to re-enable confirmation comments.

Documentation commands

/docs build

Manually trigger a rebuild of your documentation site from the current default branch.

/docs build

Tip

You usually don’t need this — docs rebuild automatically when you push changes to the docs folder. Use this command to force a rebuild after changing your scitor.yaml configuration.

/docs status

Show the current build status, site URL, and custom domain information.

/docs status

/docs domain add

Register a custom domain for your documentation site.

/docs domain add support.yourcompany.com

After running this command, add a CNAME DNS record pointing your domain to docs.scitor.io, then verify with /docs domain verify.

/docs domain verify

Verify that your custom domain’s DNS is correctly configured.

/docs domain verify

/docs domain remove

Remove your custom domain and revert to the default URL.

/docs domain remove

Forms

/create-form

Create an embeddable web form for collecting support requests.

/create-form Contact Form

Returns an embed code (iframe) that you can add to your website.

Reports

/generate-report

Generate a monthly activity report with a visual chart.

/generate-report
/generate-report january
/generate-report 3

Supports month names (e.g., “february”) or numbers (1-12). Defaults to the current month.

The report shows daily counts for:

  • 📥 Inbound emails
  • 📤 Outbound emails
  • 📋 Form submissions
