The Slack integration lets your team ask data questions from any Slack channel or DM. It uses the same Credible Context Engine and semantic models as the Credible web app — every conversation is stored as a workspace chat you can revisit at app.credibledata.com.

​
Setup

​
1. Connect Slack (Admin)

  1. Navigate to Organization Settings in the Credible App
  2. Click Connect under the Slack section
  3. Complete the Slack OAuth flow to authorize @CredibleData for your Slack workspace

​
2. Add the Bot to a Channel

Add @CredibleData to any Slack channel where your team wants to ask data questions. The first time you mention @CredibleData, you’ll be prompted to link your Credible account to your Slack identity. This is a one-time step — you must be a member of the organization and the workspace configured for that channel.

​
4. Set a Workspace for the Channel

Each channel is tied to a single Credible workspace. Configure it with slash commands:
  1. Run /credible_list to see available shared workspaces
  2. Run /credible_set_workspace <workspace> to set the workspace for this channel

​
Usage

Mention @CredibleData in a channel to start a conversation: 
@CredibleData What were our top 10 products by revenue last quarter?
  • The bot responds in a thread. Inside that thread, you can continue chatting without mentioning @CredibleData again.
  • Each response includes a link to the chat in the Credible App, where you can view full results, visualizations, and continue the analysis.
  • Every conversation is saved as a workspace chat (scoped to the channel’s configured workspace) visible to workspace members in the Credible App.

​
Direct Messages

DM @CredibleData to start a private conversation. DM chats are stored in your personal workspace.
Slack visibility rules apply. Anyone in a Slack channel can see bot responses, even if they don’t have a Credible account. They won’t be able to query the bot themselves, but they will see answers posted in the channel. Your Slack organization’s access and retention policies govern this content.
