Alerts allows you to create AI-powered scheduled alerts that automatically analyze your data and generate insights on a regular basis. Instead of manually creating updates, you can set up automated alerts that run on your schedule and deliver valuable insights directly to your team.

​
How it works

Alerts analyzes your data based on your specific requirements and automatically generates comprehensive updates. You can configure alerts to run on flexible schedules (for example, weekdays at a specific time) and have them delivered via email or Slack notifications. Alerts can access data from any data sources you have connected to Basedash, including your own databases, SaaS applications, and more. See our full list of data sources here.

​
Example use cases

Alerts can be tailored to your specific business needs:
  • Weekly status updates: Get a comprehensive overview of everything happening at your company
  • Daily user tracking: Monitor new user signups and engagement metrics
  • Automated changelogs: Generate changelogs based on your GitHub PRs that have been merged recently
  • Sales performance: Track revenue, conversion rates, and sales team performance
  • Customer insights: Analyze customer behavior, retention, and satisfaction metrics
  • Operational metrics: Monitor system performance, errors, and usage patterns

​
Templates and customization

Get started quickly with our built-in templates, or create completely custom alerts from scratch:
  • Pre-built templates: Choose from a variety of common business alert templates
  • Custom alerts: Build alerts tailored to your specific data and requirements

​
Scheduling options

Configure your alerts to run automatically on the schedule that works best for your team:
  • Daily: Perfect for monitoring key metrics that change frequently (e.g., daily sales numbers, new user signups, website traffic)
  • Weekdays: Ideal for operational metrics that change throughout the day (e.g., system performance, customer support tickets, server uptime)
  • Weekly: Ideal for status updates and trend analysis (e.g., team performance, project progress, weekly active users)
  • Monthly: Great for high-level business reviews and strategic insights (e.g., monthly recurring revenue, customer acquisition cost, churn rate)
  • Quarterly: Useful for tracking long-term trends and reviewing progress toward strategic goals (e.g., quarterly growth metrics, strategic KPIs, market share analysis)

​
Notifications and delivery

Stay informed when your alerts are ready:
  • Email delivery: Receive the alert directly in your inbox
  • Slack notifications: Optionally notify your Slack workspace when alerts are generated
  • Multiple recipients: Share alerts with specific team members or entire departments
