Before you ask
Link your Slack identity
Run
/datost link once to connect your Slack user to your Datost account. Without this, Datost can’t enforce your role permissions.While a query is running
- Datost reacts to your message with a progress indicator.
- React with ❌ to cancel a running query. See mentions and threads for the full list of recognized reactions.
- Results post in the thread: answer, chart, underlying SQL, and a link to the full response page in the web app.
When something goes wrong
- Datost couldn’t find the data → the tables may be gated by your role. Ask an admin to grant access, or see roles & permissions.
- Query timeout → try narrowing the question (shorter date range, fewer fields).
- Still stuck → support.
