Schedule Alerts for Questions and Dashboards

Zing Data is excited to introduce Scheduled Reports, a powerful new feature that enhances our alerting capabilities. Building upon our existing real-time alerts for individual questions, Scheduled Reports now allow you to:

  • Set up scheduled alerts for questions, enabling regular updates for Time Series Charts regardless of data changes.
  • Create scheduled alerts for dashboards, a new addition available in our Zing Data Console.

What Are Scheduled Reports?

Scheduled Reports empower you to receive timely updates on your data by setting up alerts that deliver insights at predefined intervals or specified data changes. Whether it’s daily sales figures or weekly performance metrics, you can now automate the delivery of crucial information without waiting for specific data changes.

Key Features Added

  1. Scheduled Alerts for Questions: Previously, alerts were triggered when data changed. Now, you can schedule time-based alerts for any question to receive regular updates, ensuring you’re always informed.
  2. Scheduled Alerts for Dashboards: For the first time, set up scheduled alerts for entire dashboards. This means you can monitor multiple metrics across different data sources and receive consolidated reports at your chosen frequency.

How to Set Up Scheduled Reports?

  1. Select Your Question or Dashboard: Navigate to the specific question or dashboard you want to monitor.
  2. Configure the Schedule: Choose the frequency of the alerts—daily, weekly, or monthly—and set the preferred time for delivery.
  3. Choose Delivery Method: Decide how you want to receive the alerts—via email, push notification, or both.
  4. Save and Activate: Once configured, save your settings. Zing Data will handle the rest, delivering reports as scheduled.

Use Cases for Scheduled Alerts

Not sure where to start? Here are some practical examples of how teams are already using Scheduled Alerts to stay ahead:

  • Sales Teams:Receive a daily summary of new leads, top-performing reps, or revenue closed—no manual exports needed.
  • Product Managers:Track weekly active users or feature adoption every Monday to start the week with fresh insights.
  • Marketing Teams:Get monthly reports on campaign performance, website traffic, or conversion metrics.
  • Finance Departments:Automatically send end-of-month dashboard snapshots showing expenses, revenue, and burn rate.

Benefits of Scheduled Reports

  • Proactive Monitoring: Stay ahead by receiving regular updates—no need to manually check data.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Share scheduled reports with teammates to keep everyone informed.
  • Time Efficiency: Automate routine reporting so you can focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.

Important: Alerts are only supported on time series questions, which require a date or timestamp on the x-axis.
