Answer workspace questions with a database inventory
A team question about existing workspaces can prompt a quick inventory, helping the answer arrive without a separate search task.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
List Databases
This tool retrieves a list of all databases in a specified workspace. as a fundamental operation, it allows users to discover which databases are available in their baserow workspace. this operation is independent and requires only authentication in order to fetch essential metadata for subsequent operations.

Questions about this workflow
Will every channel message trigger the lookup?
The listed trigger fires for channel messages. Describe the intended question context in the prompt and review the runs.
Can it look inside databases for an answer?
No. The available action lists databases; it does not query their rows.
