Slack Integration
Bring data insights to where your team already talks. @mention Kyomi in any Slack channel to ask questions and see visualizations—without leaving Slack.
Getting Started
1. Install the Kyomi App
Your workspace admin installs Kyomi from the Slack App Directory or from Settings > Integrations in Kyomi.
2. Connect Your Account
Run /kyomi connect in any Slack channel to link your Kyomi account. This enables:
- Queries run with your datasource credentials
- Messages posted as you (not as a bot)
- Bi-directional sync with Kyomi web
3. Start Asking Questions
Mention @kyomi in any channel or DM:
@kyomi what was our revenue last month?
Chart Rendering
When Kyomi's response includes a visualization, it renders as an image directly in Slack.
How it works:
- ChartML specs are rendered to PNG images
- Images upload to Slack and embed in the thread
- First 2 charts render as images; additional charts link to Kyomi web
Bi-directional Sync
Slack to Kyomi Web
- @kyomi conversations appear in your Kyomi conversation list
- Full context preserved: questions, responses, charts, tool calls
- Team members can see shared channel conversations
Kyomi Web to Slack
- Add messages in Kyomi web to continue the Slack thread
- Messages sync back to the original thread
- Maintains conversation continuity across platforms
Team Collaboration
