Slack Slash Commands

The /invup slash command lets you check your time tracking progress directly in Slack. You can pull up summaries for the current week, last week, or any month — without opening the Invup web app.

All commands are visible only to you (they don't post to the channel).


Quick Reference

Command What it does
/invup help Shows all available commands
/invup report This week's time summary
/invup report this-week This week's time summary (same as above)
/invup report last-week Last week's time summary
/invup report [month] A specific month's time summary

/invup help

Shows the list of available commands with their syntax.

Example:

/invup help

Response:

Available commands: /invup report — This week's summary /invup report last-week — Last week's summary /invup report [month] — Monthly summary (e.g., /invup report march) /invup help — Show this help message


/invup report

Generates a summary of your time entries for the current week (Monday through Sunday). This is the default report — running /invup report and /invup report this-week produce the same result.

Example:

/invup report

Response includes:

If no time has been logged for the week, the response says: "No time logged this week yet. Use the daily prompt to record your hours!"


/invup report last-week

Same format as the weekly report, but for the previous week (Monday through Sunday).

Example:

/invup report last-week

/invup report [month]

Generates a summary for a specific month. You can use the full month name or a common abbreviation.

Accepted month names:

Full name Abbreviations
January jan
February feb
March mar
April apr
May
June jun
July jul
August aug
September sep, sept
October oct
November nov
December dec

Month names are case-insensitive — March, march, and MARCH all work.

Examples:

/invup report march
/invup report jan
/invup report september

Response includes everything in the weekly report, plus:

Which year is used?

If the requested month hasn't occurred yet in the current year, Invup uses the previous year. For example, if it's March 2026 and you run /invup report december, you'll get December 2025.
