Playbooks
Run from chat
Trigger any saved playbook from a chat thread with a single message. Parameters are passed inline — no form, no dashboard.
Basic syntax
chat
Run "Deploy storefront to prod"
Run the Deploy playbook
Run my "Rotate Stripe key" playbookDunOps matches the name against your saved playbooks. If the name is unambiguous, it starts immediately. If multiple playbooks match, it lists them and asks which one to run.
Passing parameters
Playbooks can declare input parameters. Pass them inline in plain English — DunOps extracts the values:
chat
Run "Deploy storefront" with branch=hotfix-login
Run "DNS update" for example.com pointing app to 76.76.21.21
Run my deploy playbook on the staging environmentTip
You don't need exact parameter syntax. DunOps understands natural language like 'with the hotfix branch' and maps it to the declared input.

Note
A playbook run is a single conversation thread. All approvals and outputs appear in that thread.
