FAQ

FAQ

Practical answers to common questions.

Data access follows your Slack and HubSpot permissions. The agent runs within those boundaries and does not expose data outside configured channels. Access is controlled by your workspace and HubSpot user roles. Logs are retained according to your policy, and data is processed securely in transit and at rest. If needed, you can disable data sharing per channel, or revoke app permissions at any time.

Yes. The agent retrieves deals, companies, and contacts and merges them into a single, structured reply aligned with the user’s natural language query. It uses matching and filtering to present only relevant records. If there are no matches, it clearly states results and suggests refining the query. You can customize which fields are shown in the response.

The agent reports no matches with a concise explanation and offers next steps, such as refining the query or expanding filters. It suggests alternative related records where appropriate. The UX includes a fallback message and a lightweight, readable format. There is no data leakage.

The design supports Gemini as the primary language model, but the architecture can be adapted to use other compatible models. You can specify a different model in configuration, but you should validate formatting expectations and token costs. In operational terms, usage remains compliant with your organization’s policies.

Yes. You can select which HubSpot fields to display (e.g., deal name, amount, stage; company name and industry; contact name and email). The layout supports reordering and limiting results to keep responses concise. Customization is applied per channel or user role.

Permissions follow your Slack app and HubSpot roles. The agent respects channel-level access and can be restricted to specific channels or users. Admins can modify permissions, audit logs, and revoke access if needed. It’s important to align the bot’s capabilities with your security policy.

The architecture is modular and can be extended to additional data sources with similar data shapes. Integration work involves mapping fields, permissions, and response formatting. It remains possible to reuse the same natural-language querying approach across different data sources.
