Every Cake Day action available from Slack starts with /cakeday followed by a subcommand. All responses are ephemeral — only you see them — unless the command posts a shoutout to a channel.
All command responses are ephemeral and only visible to you. The only messages visible to your team are real scheduled shoutouts posted to your celebration channels.

Commands for everyone

These commands are available to all workspace members, regardless of admin status.

Commands for admins only

These commands are restricted to Cake Day admins. Running them as a non-admin returns an ephemeral “Admins only” message.

Redirects to the dashboard

The following subcommands redirect you to the Settings page at cakeday.io/app/settings. They exist so that commands you may have memorized from an earlier version of Cake Day still work and take you somewhere useful.
  • /cakeday channel
  • /cakeday time
  • /cakeday timezone
  • /cakeday pause
  • /cakeday resume
All configuration for channels, post time, timezone, and the pause toggle lives in the web dashboard rather than Slack commands.
