Remote support

What are the commands used?
As mentioned earlier, the integration uses commands to initiate or schedule sessions. These slash commands have pre-assigned functionality to make initiating sessions as easy as possible. As the name suggests, it always begins with a ‘/’ and triggers a request to Zoho Assist when used. Here’s a list of important commands that has been included in the integration:
Start a remote support session: /zassist_start_remote_session <email address>
Schedule a remote session: /zassist_schedule_remote_session <email address>
Start a screen sharing session: /zassist_share_my_screen <email address>
Schedule a screen sharing session: /zassist_schedule_screen_sharing <email address>
View session schedule, start/cancel session: /zassist_view_schedule
Revoke integration: /zassist_stop_integration
Specifying the email address is optional when keying in any command of your choice. We’ve also included command suggestions that will pop-up as you start typing a command. To learn more about the slash commands, click here.
