# Creating a request through the slackbot
1. Open the Slackbot and run the `/purposes` command. This will display a list of all purposes in the tenant.
2. To view the connections/resources the purpose provides access to, click on the three-dot menu and click on "Details". This opens up the purpose details dialog.
3. To request a purpose, click the "Request" button next to the relevant purpose.
4. Fill all the required fields on the form and click "Submit" to create a new purpose request.
5. After creation, the new user-purpose access request will be visible on the Access Requests page. The appropriate reviewer assigned to the request will receive a notification (via email, Slack, or in-app) prompting them to review the request.
6. Once the request is approved by the reviewer the request was assigned to, the purpose will be assigned to the employee.
To use assigned purposes, refer to [Starting & Stopping Assigned Purposes](/lifecycle-management/jitpbac/purposes/starting-and-stopping-assigned-purposes.md).[ ](/lifecycle-management/jitpbac/purposes/starting-and-stopping-assigned-purposes.md)

## 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://docs.balkan.id/lifecycle-management/jitpbac/purposes/create-user-purpose-access-request/creating-a-request-through-the-slackbot.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
