# Config

Config allows displaying a "one-time" form in the Command Bar. All values from this form will be securely stored on the server and sent to the command any time it is run. Useful when a command requires some configuration (e.g. API key) before it can be run.

To see a real example, check out the [Send Slack Message](/command-tutorials/send-slack-message.md) command.

## Config

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Simple Config Form" %}

```json
{
  "config": {
    "form": {
      "fields": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "id": "api-key",
          "label": "API Key",
          "placeholder": "GIPHY API key"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Config Form with Error" %}

```json
{
  "config": {
    "form": {
      "error": "This API Key has expired",
      "fields": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "id": "api-key",
          "label": "API Key",
          "placeholder": "GIPHY API key"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Show Config Conditionally

You will likely want to show the configuration form to the user conditionally, e.g. when the user hasn't entered the values yet or when the values are incorrect. See the [Send Slack Message](/command-tutorials/send-slack-message.md) on how to do it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://platform.slapdash.com/reference/command-response-config.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
