Before using the /cb slash command there is one last step to take. When interacting with Codebeamer from Slack, it is necessary for Codebeamer to know which user is doing the specific operations fired from Slack, so to get Codebeamer to know who are you in Slack you need to connect your Slack account with your Codebeamer account. This can be done by simply trying to use a command and the integration will tell you what to do next.

Go to your slack workspace and use the /cb command by typing /cb to the message line.

You should get a similar message like this:

Click on the URL and click on the Authorize button.

You will be redirected to Codebeamer and you will see a message that tells you whether the account connection has been succeeded or not. You may need to sign in with your Codebeamer account if you are currently not signed in.

Now you can go back to Slack and use the command without any problems. Remember that your Codebeamer account need to have the Rest / Remote API - Access permission in order to use the command.

Once you have done this account connection, you will not need to do it again with the same account.
