# Slack Integration

> Chat with your data directly from Slack using the @CredibleData bot

The Slack integration lets your team ask data questions from any Slack channel or DM. It uses the same [Credible Context Engine](/concepts/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.

### 3. Link Your Account

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**.

<Note>
  **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.
