Chartcastr for Engineers: Leveraging Webhooks and API-Driven Pulses
Chartcastr isn't just for business users. Learn how developers can use our webhooks and API to build custom observability and reporting workflows.
A Developer-First Approach to Business Intelligence
While Chartcastr is famous for its no-code ease of use, we've built a robust engine under the hood that engineers love. If you're tired of building custom cron jobs to post PNGs to Slack, Chartcastr is your new best friend.
Webhooks as a First-Class Citizen
You can trigger pulses via incoming webhooks. This means your CI/CD pipeline, your backend health checks, or even your custom user-event listeners can kick off a Chartcastr pulse.
Why use Chartcastr instead of a custom script?
- Rendering is Hard: Don't waste time wrangling Puppeteer or Canvas to generate images. We handle the heavy lifting.
- Dynamic Scheduling: Change the delivery cadence through our UI without redeploying code.
- Multi-Platform Delivery: Write the trigger once, deliver to Slack, Teams, and Email simultaneously.
API Integration
Our upcoming API documentation will show you how to programmatically create "Sources" and "Pulses," making it easy to embed Chartcastr into your own product or internal dashboard.
