Custom dashboards

Custom Dashboards in Workbird allow you to create personalized views to monitor and analyze workflow and task-specific metrics. These dashboards are designed to give you a clear picture of your automation performance, enabling quick insights and data-driven decisions.


Key Features

  • Draggable Widgets – Arrange your dashboard elements freely to match your analytical preferences.

  • Resizable Widgets – Scale widgets to emphasize critical metrics or create compact views for secondary data.

  • Flexible Data Sources – Pull real-time metrics from your workflows and tasks.

  • Custom Metrics – Track the information most relevant to your business processes, such as:

    • Email open rates

    • Number of emails sent

    • Task completion times

    • Conversion rates

    • Any other workflow-driven KPI you define


Why Use Custom Dashboards?

  • Real-Time Insights – Monitor workflow execution as it happens.

  • Business-Specific Metrics – Focus on KPIs directly linked to your use cases (e.g., sales outreach performance, marketing funnel health, or operational efficiency).

  • Decision Support – Quickly identify trends, spot bottlenecks, and take corrective actions based on live data.

  • Executive & Team Views – Create dashboards tailored for leadership, operations teams, or campaign managers.


Using Dashboards With Workflows

Dashboards can consume data from:

  • Workflow Outputs – Metrics generated from automated processes (e.g., number of contacts processed, errors, or status changes).

  • Integrated Apps – Data from connected systems such as CRMs, marketing platforms, and custom integrations.

Example Use Cases:

  • Marketing Campaign Tracking: Visualize email send counts, open rates, click-through rates, and conversions.

  • Sales Pipeline Monitoring: Track lead assignments, deal stage progression, and win rates.

  • Operations & Support Metrics: Monitor ticket resolution times or fulfillment rates from automated workflows.
