Question 1

How do I automatically send Google Sheets charts to Slack?

Accepted Answer

Chartcastr connects your Google Sheets via OAuth, captures chart images on a schedule (hourly, daily, weekly, or custom cron), and delivers them to Slack channels with AI-powered analysis summaries. No screenshots, no manual exports, no code. Setup takes under 5 minutes: connect Google Sheets, select your chart, pick a Slack channel, and set a schedule.

Question 2

How often can I schedule Google Sheets chart updates to Slack?

Accepted Answer

Chartcastr supports hourly, daily, weekly, and custom cron schedules for Google Sheets to Slack delivery. Most teams use daily morning pulses (e.g., 9am every weekday) or weekly Monday summaries. Each Slack channel can have its own schedule, and all schedules are timezone-aware.

Question 3

Does Chartcastr add AI summaries to Google Sheets charts in Slack?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every delivery includes an AI-generated summary using your choice of Claude, OpenAI GPT, or Google Gemini. The AI compares the current chart to previous deliveries, highlighting trends, anomalies, and week-over-week changes. It also incorporates your company context via connected documents from Notion, Google Docs, and other sources.

Question 4

Can I ask follow-up questions about charts delivered to Slack?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After a chart pulse is delivered to Slack, you can @mention the Chartcastr bot in the thread to ask follow-up questions. The AI uses vision to analyze the original chart image along with your context documents to provide detailed answers. For example: "@Chartcastr why did revenue drop this week?"

Question 5

Do I need to write code to send Google Sheets charts to Slack?

Accepted Answer

No. Chartcastr is entirely no-code. Connect your Google Sheets and Slack accounts via OAuth, select which charts to monitor, pick destination channels, and set a schedule — all through a visual interface. Unlike alternatives like Google Apps Script or Zapier, there are no scripts to write or maintain.

Question 6

How is Chartcastr better than Zapier for Google Sheets to Slack?

Accepted Answer

Chartcastr is purpose-built for chart delivery. Unlike Zapier, it natively renders chart images from Google Sheets (no screenshot services needed), generates AI-powered summaries comparing to previous deliveries, and supports interactive follow-up questions in Slack threads. Setup is under 5 minutes vs building multi-step Zaps, and it handles chart-specific edge cases like OAuth token refresh and restricted chart access.
