Ask your Supaboard agents from Slack. Mention @Supaboard in a channel, or message it directly, and the answer — chart, table or number — lands back in the same thread. Slack is one of three chat surfaces on the same read-only tool layer, alongside Claude and ChatGPT. Nothing asked from a chat can change your data.

​
Two steps, two different grants

Connecting Slack involves two separate permissions, and it helps to know which is which. An installed workspace where nobody has linked yet answers every question with an invitation to link. That is expected.

​
1. Install the app

Install Supaboard to your Slack workspace from the install link your Supaboard account manager sends you. It opens Slack’s own authorisation screen; approve it as a workspace admin. The first time you mention @Supaboard, or if you run /supaboard link, the bot replies with a link button. It opens a Supaboard sign-in page where you pick the workspace and the agent that should answer you. You only do this once; the choice is remembered.

​
Asking questions

  • In a channel: @Supaboard what was net revenue last week by region?
  • In a direct message: just type the question.
Slack requires an acknowledgement within three seconds, and an analysis takes longer than that, so the bot posts a placeholder immediately and edits the real answer into the thread when it is ready — usually within a minute or two. Charts arrive as images, tables and KPIs as native Slack blocks.

​
Slash commands

Everything after /supaboard is a command. Without one, it shows help.

​
Limits

  • Read-only. The Slack surface can list workspaces, agents and dashboards and ask questions; it cannot create dashboards, edit agents or write to any source.
  • One linked account per Slack user. Switching workspace or agent is a command, not a re-link.
  • Answers use the same credits as a question asked in the app.
