Alerts
Dashboards can watch a number for you. Data alerts fire when a value crosses a line or moves by a set step, and you can set one from a form, a sentence or a chart button. Viewers can also report what they see on a dashboard, Google Sheets and Excel tabs sync into Cerebro Tables, and API tokens can run read-only SQL.

New Features
Data Alerts
Watch one number on any dashboard tile and get a message when it crosses a value or every time it moves by a set step. Alerts send through the same Slack, email, SMS and webhook delivery as scheduled reports. A bell in the dashboard header lists what is being watched, the last value read and when it last sent.
Alerts from a Sentence or a Chart Button
Type a request like tell me when revenue passes 140,000 and Cerebro fills in the alert form. A custom dashboard can put an Alert me button on any chart, and the in-app agent, CLI and MCP create alerts too, formatted the way the tile formats its numbers.
Dashboard Feedback
Point at anything on a dashboard, including inside a custom renderer, and say what you see. Each report reaches the Cerebro team with the dashboard, version and page context attached, and you get the reply by email when it is resolved.
Google Sheets and Excel Sync into Cerebro Tables
Pick a workbook from Google Drive or OneDrive, tick the tabs, choose a refresh schedule, and each tab stays synced as a table. Goals, budgets, rosters and price lists stop needing a fresh import every time they change.
Read-Only SQL Through the API
An API token with the query:run scope can run one read-only statement against a chosen data source and page through the results. Server-to-server syncs no longer need a personal token or an MCP connection.
Transfer Dashboard Ownership
The share dialog gets a Transfer ownership section, so a dashboard can move to the person who maintains it now, and they can delete it when it retires.
Improvements
One-Click Dashboard Actions
An action can skip the confirm dialog, so a renderer button can log a call or send a quick pick like Left VM with a single click. Editors turn this on per action, and the default still asks for confirmation.
Slack Connected per Organization
Each organization connects Slack itself, and one workspace can be connected to several organizations, so an agency's Slack can serve every client org without moving between them. The channel picker also works for newly installed workspaces.
