Why use Nimbella Commander?
copied
Commander allows you to build and run slash commands without servers - write your code and Commander does the rest. There’s nothing to install, no servers to manage, and no services to provision. You can automate any workflow and you can run these commands from any device. With Commander you also get these additional security capabilities to manage your environment and program your tasks:
Access Control
copied
Control which users can run commands, edit source code or administer your commands and apps. Add users to custom groups to allow for easier management of access rights.
Secret Keys
copied
Share your code freely without compromising security. API keys and sensitive data are encrypted and stored securely.
Built-in Security
copied
Users and identities are managed by your collaboration platform, so don't worry about security. Each command runs in its own environment, and each app is in its own authenticated namespace.
Audit Logs
copied
Get the logs of each app, command, or user using Commander.
Triggers
copied
Set up an external API to call your command with a trigger. Select a channel for the command to output into and give your command webhook to your external API.
Tasks
copied
Create fully programmable tasks that run on specified time intervals.
Command Sets - Open Source
copied
Build and easily, share your slash commands with the community. Install in any workspace.
