From sheet to chart to Slack — step by step

These examples use the same chart components we render in your workspace and when you download charts as PNGs. Start from a simple Google Sheet, map the ranges you care about, and Chartcastr takes care of the rest.

How charts are set up

  1. 1. Connect a source like Google Sheets, BigQuery or S3 and pick the table or tab you want to keep an eye on.
  2. 2. Choose a chart type, map your x-axis and series ranges, and preview the result directly in Chartcastr.
  3. 3. Wire that chart into a Slack channel, email sequence or webhook so the right people get the right view automatically.

Chart types in Chartcastr

Each chart below is powered by the same rendering pipeline we use to generate shareable images from your data — what you see here is what your team sees in Slack or their inbox.

Stacked bar charts for weekly movement

Use stacked bar charts when you want to see how each part contributes to the total in a given time bucket — like new revenue vs adjustments in a week.

Line charts for trends

Line charts are ideal for showing movement over time and making it easy to spot inflection points or anomalies in your data.

Area charts for cumulative impact

Area charts help tell a story about total impact — great for things like ARR, MRR or cumulative signups over time.

Pie charts for composition

Use a simple pie chart when you want to highlight how a single metric is split across a small number of categories.

From chart to communication

Once a chart is saved, Chartcastr can automatically turn it into a PNG and send it wherever your team works — daily Slack updates, weekly email digests, or internal docs. Add your own screenshots or flows here to show exactly how those updates land in context.
