Notifications

Notifications let you send email or Slack messages with a screenshot of a dashboard after each scheduled refresh. This is useful for distributing regular updates to stakeholders without requiring them to log in.

Creating a notification

Notifications are configured as part of a scheduled refresh. When creating or editing a schedule, click Add notification to expand the notification configuration card.

Delivery channel

Toggle between two delivery channels:

• Email — select multiple recipients from workspace users using a searchable picker with checkboxes.
• Slack — select a Slack channel to post to. Requires connecting your Slack workspace first (one-time OAuth flow via Connect to Slack). Once connected, select a channel from a searchable picker.

Screenshot attachment

Choose the format for the dashboard screenshot attached to the notification:

• PNG (default)
• PDF

Select the format using the Attach screenshot as option.

Removing a notification

To remove a notification from a scheduled refresh, click the X button in the notification card header before saving.

Email notifications

Email notifications are sent to selected workspace users after a scheduled refresh completes. Each recipient receives a message with a link to the dashboard and the attached screenshot.

Slack notifications

Slack notifications post a message with the dashboard screenshot to a single Slack channel per schedule.

Connecting Slack

Before you can send Slack notifications, connect your Slack workspace:

1. When configuring a notification, select Slack as the delivery channel.
2. Click Connect to Slack to start the OAuth flow.
3. Authorize Cube to post to your Slack workspace.

This is a one-time setup. Once connected, you can select any channel your Slack workspace has access to.
