This feature enables customers to set up a Bot for Slack application into their workspaces. By adding this new bot, users within the workspace can easily request data from their Datagran workspace (for both integrations and operators) by simply asking, as though they were speaking to another person, without requiring any knowledge of Python or SQL.

The bot will provide users with downloadable data and any relevant metrics, if available.

Note: Please note that this application differs from the Slack Destination. Install this app if you wish to query data in a natural language format. On the other hand, utilize the Slack Destination to send data to your Slack channels and receive notifications.

Disclaimer:‍

Our application utilizes advanced language models, such as GPT4, to provide responses within the Slack platform. While we strive for accuracy and relevancy in our responses, it's important to note that like any AI-driven system, there is a potential for inaccuracies or unexpected outcomes. Factors such as input context, user-generated content, and the dynamic nature of language can influence the responses generated by the system. We have taken steps to ensure transparency and mitigate the risk of inaccurate responses by including this disclaimer in both our long description and landing page. However, users should exercise discretion and critical judgment when interacting with the application's outputs.

Our team is committed to continuously improving the accuracy and performance of our system, and we welcome feedback to help us enhance the user experience. By using our application, you acknowledge and accept the inherent limitations of AI technology and agree that our team shall not be held liable for any consequences resulting from the use of the application's responses.

Configuration

The following steps must be accomplished in order to have this bot in a Slack workspace:

  1. Slack setup: Have a Slack workspace and install the Jedi app in one of the channels.
  2. Datagran setup: Have a Datagran workspace and establish connections properly.
  3. Usage: Manage tables cache and make queries.

Step 1 - Slack setup

The first thing that is needed here is to already own a Slack workspace and, for the user that wants to complete this setup, to have "admin" or "owner" roles in the same Slack workspace.

The next step is to install the application:

  1. First, log into your Datagran workspace. If you don’t have an account creating an account is free. Your account will contain dummy data so that you can test your bot for Slack.
