What Slack data does Rig sync?

Channels, members, and message history with thread replies. Messages come from the channels you invite the Rig app to, or from every public channel if you turn that option on. Direct messages are never synced.

Can Rig post answers and alerts back to Slack?

Yes, through Rig's Slack app, which is a separate install from the ingest connection. The ingest connection is read-only, so inviting it to a channel does not let it post there.

Can I query Slack data in Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Once Slack is synced to your warehouse, Rig serves it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI tools over MCP.

How often does Slack data refresh?

Rig Ingest syncs on a schedule you set and picks up new messages and thread replies automatically. A channel you invite the app to later backfills its full history rather than starting from the invite.

How Slack connects to Rig

Rig Ingest syncs your Slack channels, members and message history into your warehouse on a schedule, with thread replies alongside the messages they answer. Messages sync for the channels you invite the Rig app to, or for every public channel if you turn that on. Rig models channel activity and response timing so help-channel and engagement questions resolve correctly.

Measure support and help-channel volume and response

Internal help channels carry a hidden support load that never shows up in a ticketing tool. Rig reads Slack messages and threads, so you can measure how many questions a help channel gets, how fast they are answered, and which ones go unanswered.

Ask Rig

How many questions did the #help channel get this week?
What is the median time to first reply in the support channel?
Which threads in #help got no response?

Track team activity across channels

Rig rolls up Slack messages and threads by channel and member, so you can see where conversation is happening and how it trends. Operations leads use it to understand engagement without scrolling through channels.

Surface answers and alerts in Slack

Rig's Slack app can post answers and alerts directly into channels, so a scheduled question or a threshold breach lands where the team will see it. This is a separate install from the ingest connection above, which only ever reads.

Ask Rig

Post daily signups to the #metrics channel each morning
Alert #ops when failed payments exceed the threshold
Answer this question and post the result to #leadership

Ask your Slack data in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Rig serves your Slack data to AI assistants over MCP. Once Slack is synced into your warehouse, you can ask questions in plain English from the tool you already use, and every answer is backed by validated, governed SQL.
