Cube’s Slack integration enables two capabilities:
  • Notifications — Deliver scheduled dashboard screenshots to Slack channels.
  • Slack Agent — Let your team ask data questions directly in Slack and get AI-powered answers from the Analytics Chat agent.

​
Setup

A workspace admin connects Slack from the Settings → Integrations → Slack page. The setup flow authorizes Cube to interact with your Slack workspace via OAuth. Once connected, the admin selects:
  • A deployment that the Slack integration will use.
  • An agent that will respond to questions in Slack.

​
Notifications

Slack notifications post a dashboard screenshot to a Slack channel after each scheduled refresh. See Notifications for details on creating and configuring notification schedules.

​
Slack Agent

The Slack Agent brings Analytics Chat into Slack. Anyone in your Slack workspace can send a direct message to the Cube app and get AI-powered answers grounded in your semantic layer — without leaving Slack.

​
How it works

  1. A user sends a direct message to the Cube Slack app.
  2. Cube matches the user by email address — the email in Slack must match an existing Cube user.
  3. An Analytics Chat session is created, and the agent responds in a Slack thread.
Follow-up questions can be asked by replying in the same Slack thread, keeping the conversation contextual.

​
User matching

Cube identifies Slack users by their email address. For the integration to work, a user with the same email must exist in both Cube and the connected Slack workspace. If no matching Cube user is found, the agent will not respond.

​
Limitations

Slack Agent is in active development. The following limitations apply:
  • DMs only — The Slack Agent currently works only in direct messages with the Cube app. Channel mentions are not supported.
  • One agent — Only one agent can be active at a time. Admins can change the selected agent in the Slack integration settings.
  • One-way message sync — Chats initiated from Slack are visible in the Cube UI, and you can post messages from the Cube UI, but those messages will not appear in the corresponding Slack thread.
  • Email matching required — Users must have the same email address in both Cube and Slack.
