Get Performance Updates Delivered in Slack

While everyone else is digging around different tools or combing through slides and spreadsheets, your clients' performance updates can be sent right to them... ...in Slack.
Yup. We just improved our Slack integration, which now allows you to automate daily, weekly, or monthly Scorecards and performance Alerts to any public Slack channel you want.
Just choose the most important metrics for any client, pick the time you want the update to be sent, and choose the Slack channel they want it delivered to.
You can even set this up for your agency so everyone has the most important KPIs top of mind.

Ready to track client performance in Databox, but not necessarily ready to invite clients to your account?
We've received feedback from agency customers that simply want to get started in tracking client performance right away.
Now, you no longer need to enter a client name and email address in order to add client accounts in Databox.

The average company may track data from dozens of different tools. And when it comes to bringing all of that data into one place, you might not have access to all of the tools in order to do so.
Now, we’ve made it simple to get access to the tools you need in order to track performance.
You can request access to a certain Data Source directly from Databox.
This way, you avoid writing emails or Slack messages back and forth trying to get the admin permissions to a Data Source that you need to integrate within Databox to create your reports.
Here’s how you do it:
Filter Databoards by Creator & Find The Data You Need Quickly

Do you ever feel like you spend more time trying to find data than you do analyzing it?
When multiple people and teams are building Databoards in order to track the metrics that are most important to them, it can get a little noisy and harder to find the things you need. Now, you can filter Databoards in your account by the person who created it.
This way, you spend less time trying to track down data from specific teams or individuals, and more time actually analyzing it and determining next steps...
Here’s everything you need to know about all of our Databoard filtering options.
P.S. We’re available to help you get anything set up, just respond here and let us know what you’re looking to track.
