# Frequently Asked Questions

## "This app responded with Status Code 404" error returned while picking a filter from a slash command

If a 404 error is being returned while trying to use a slash command that allows for filtering, there is most likely a typo within the Interactivity Request URL for your application.

- Navigate to https://api.slack.com/apps and select your Nautobot ChatOps application that is currently in development
- Under Features, navigate to "Interactivity & Shortcuts"
- Under Interactivity, confirm that the Request URL is of the format: `https://<server>/api/plugins/chatops/slack/interaction/` (Note the trailing slash)

## Can I interact with Nautobot within a Slack thread?

Slack does not currently support using slash commands within a conversation thread. Nautobot can be mentioned in a thread and will parse the text after the bot's name for a command.

For example, if you want to run the slash command `/nautobot get-devices site site-a`, the equivalent bot mention command would be (assuming your bot name is `@nautobot`) `@nautobot nautobot get-devices site site-a`.

## The Chat Commands do not allow me to select locations/devices/interfaces/etc

Nautobot ChatOps now uses your Nautobot user permissions in order to process commands. Please link your Chat Account with your Nautobot Account.
