# Dashboard Subscriptions

In DoordaOnline, **dashboard subscriptions** allow you to automatically share dashboards with your team on a regular schedule via **email**, **Slack**, or **webhooks**. This helps ensure that the right people stay informed without needing to log in or manually run reports.

## **Why Use Dashboard Subscriptions?**

- Keep team members updated on key metrics.
- Automate the distribution of reports.
- Deliver insights directly to users' inboxes or messaging platforms.
- Ensure consistent visibility of performance data.

## **Who Can Create Subscriptions?**

To set up a subscription, you need:

- **Access to the dashboard** you want to subscribe to.
- **Permission** to add subscriptions to that dashboard’s collection.
- If sending to a group or channel, ensure it’s configured correctly in the admin settings (e.g., Slack or webhook).

## **How to Set Up a Subscription**

1. **Open the Dashboard**
  - Navigate to the dashboard you want to subscribe to.
2. **Click the “Share” Icon**
  - In the top-right corner of the dashboard, click the share menu and choose **“Subscribe”**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/5734b0b2-37f4-4beb-82ef-110ed3c20234/Images/Documentation/image-1744095421635.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-04T11%3A30%3A16Z&se=2026-11-04T12%3A30%3A16Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iQwEFyDmI5yYvcXFu%2FrbkIeAL05Ychax9lJY7NROwqU%3D)

## **Managing Subscriptions**

- Go to the dashboard and click the “...” menu.
- Select **“Manage Subscriptions”**.
- You can **edit**, **delete**, or **pause** existing subscriptions here.

Note: Admins can also view and manage all subscriptions across DoordaOnline from the admin panel.

## **Best Practices**

- Use clear subject lines for email subscriptions (e.g., “Weekly Sales Overview”).
- Keep the number of filters minimal for clarity.
- Regularly review and update schedules to avoid sending outdated reports.

## **Limitations and Considerations**

- Dashboard data must be available at the scheduled time.
- If a query takes too long or fails, the subscription might not be delivered.
- Webhook integrations may require developer setup.
