The growth update writes itself
Daily spend pacing, funnel conversion, campaign ROI, and organic traffic in Slack and email on a cadence.
If you run paid, you already know the loop. Pull spend from Meta and Google. Reconcile against budget. Build a slide. Drop in Slack with a paragraph of commentary. Every week. Sometimes daily. Chartcastr ships the same outcome as a scheduled Pulse with the AI commentary already written. The deck and the dashboard-checking go away.
Daily spend pacing without the morning scramble
Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads pulled and reconciled against budget. Pacing call-out at the top: ahead, behind, or on track.
Funnel conversion in plain view
MQL to SQL to opportunity rates from HubSpot. The Pulse shows the cohort, the funnel, and a sentence on what shifted versus the prior period.
Campaign performance without dashboard tabs
Top performers and underperformers by ROAS, CPA, or whatever metric matters. Names and numbers in the Slack message.
Organic traffic and rankings on a cadence
Search Console clicks, top-mover keywords, and trend deltas land in your SEO channel weekly. No more logging in.
Anomaly alerts when CAC slips
Threshold breach on cost per acquisition or a sudden ROAS drop fires a call-out at the top of the next Pulse. The team sees it before the EOM review.
One Pulse for paid, one for organic, one for email
Klaviyo flow performance, Mailchimp campaign reports, customer.io engagement. Each channel gets its own scheduled Pulse to its own Slack channel.
What lands in your channel
Typical first-week setup for a growth or marketing ops team.
Setup, end to end
- 1
Connect the ad platforms and email tools you already use
Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Klaviyo, Mailchimp via OAuth. HubSpot for funnel data. Search Console via Sheets export.
- 2
Pick the metric and the breakout
Spend pacing by channel, MQL to SQL by campaign, ROAS by ad set. Default chart picks usually work; override per Pulse if needed.
- 3
Pick the channel and cadence
Daily spend pacing in #growth-paid. Weekly funnel in #revenue. Monthly campaign roll-up to email for the exec list.
- 4
Set anomaly thresholds
CPL up 20% versus last week? CAC over target? Pulse fires a call-out without anyone noticing first.
- 5
Use thread replies for the why
@mention Chartcastr in the Pulse thread to ask follow-ups. "Which campaign drove the CPL spike?" gets answered in context, no tab switch.

Common questions
Can I run Pulses per campaign or per ad set?
Yes. Filter the source query to a campaign ID or ad set ID. Common pattern: a top-level Pulse for the channel and a per-campaign Pulse for the team owning that campaign.
Does this work alongside Supermetrics or Funnel.io?
Yes. If you already use one of those for the data pipe into a sheet or warehouse, point Chartcastr at the result. We handle the chart, the AI commentary, and the scheduled delivery; they handle the data movement.
What about Looker Studio or Tableau dashboards we already have?
Keep them for ad-hoc deep-dives. Use Chartcastr Pulses for the recurring updates that nobody opens the dashboard to check. The two coexist; the dashboard becomes the source of truth, the Pulse becomes the daily ritual.
Can I schedule a Pulse to a client Slack Connect channel?
Yes. Slack Connect channels are first-class destinations. Many agencies use this to push paid pacing Pulses into client channels without manual report builds.
Ship your first Pulse this week
Most setups take around 10 minutes from connecting a source to receiving the first scheduled delivery.
