Why this helps
Cost concerns often trigger ad hoc investigations that interrupt work and leave the team without a shared evidence source.
- Ground cost discussions in historic query records.
- Review token counts and costs in the same context as the concern.
- Reduce manual searching when an API spend question comes up.

- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to retrieve Apipie query history when a channel message raises an API cost or token usage question.
- 3Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real message asking to investigate recent Apipie usage costs.
