Reference: Alloy Self-Service Assistant bot commands

Updated in 2021.1

This article lists the available commands for using the Alloy Self-Service Assistant bot in Microsoft Teams.

Every command has a long form and a short form. Both command forms are case-insensitive.
Some commands require specifying a parameter, with a space in between.
If a required command parameter is missing, the bot will try to launch the command with the last used parameter.
