Creating and using command aliases in chat channels
AWS Chatbot supports the creation of command aliases to make running commonly used CLI commands easier. A command alias is a custom shortcut or shorthand representation of a CLI command that you define. A command alias can be configured to include one or more custom parameters. Additional target actions can be included as part of the alias definition.
Command aliases are defined for a single channel. If a channel is configured to work with more than one AWS account, the aliases work across all AWS accounts. All channel members share the aliases defined in the channel.
Note
When a channel member runs a command alias, the target is run with the configured member's permissions (channel role, user role) depending on the permissions schemas in place. For more information about permissions, see Understanding AWS Chatbot permissions.
We strongly recommend that you don't add any personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential or sensitive information to your command aliases.
