Template notes
Stop switching between Slack and your analytics dashboards. Mention the bot in any Slack channel, ask a business question, and get an AI-powered answer from Databox in seconds - without leaving Slack.
Who's it for
- Marketing and growth teams who want instant data answers during standups - Managers who need quick metric checks without logging into dashboards - Anyone using Slack who wants to query Databox data conversationally
How it works

Requirements
- [Databox account](https://databox.com/?ref=n8n) (free plan works) - OpenAI API key (or Anthropic) - Slack account with a custom Slack app (setup guide in the sticky notes)
