Connect Metabase Data — Dashboard Usage Insights
Send data to Metabase and let AI agents query your dashboards, monitor KPIs, and answer questions about marketing performance across 1,000+ sources.
Key Takeaways Connect marketing data to Metabase
Improvado automatically sends marketing data from Google Ads, Facebook, Salesforce, and 500+ other platforms directly to your Metabase instance. The platform connects to Metabase through secure database connections, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other Metabase-compatible databases. Data refreshes happen every hour, ensuring your Metabase dashboards stay current with the latest campaign performance. No manual CSV uploads or custom API development required.
From connection to autonomous action in three steps
Connect
Connect your Metabase instance via API token with read/write permissions. The agent authenticates using your workspace credentials and accesses dashboard configurations, query definitions, and usage analytics.
Ask
Ask questions like 'Which dashboards have the slowest load times?' or 'Show me query patterns for the Revenue Analytics dashboard' or 'What databases are queried most frequently?'
Act
The agent optimizes query performance by identifying missing indexes, refactors complex joins, schedules dashboard refresh cycles, creates performance alerts, and archives unused dashboards to reduce instance load.
What teams ask their AI agent about Metabase

Read
The agent reads dashboard usage metrics, query execution times, database connection status, user access patterns, question definitions, collection structures, and data model relationships across your Metabase instance.
Write
The agent optimizes SQL queries, creates and modifies dashboards, configures scheduled refreshes, sets performance alerts, manages user permissions, archives inactive content, and adjusts caching policies to improve response times.
Monitor
The agent monitors dashboard load times, query failure rates, database connection health, user activity patterns, cache hit ratios, and resource utilization to proactively identify performance bottlenecks and usage anomalies.
AI agents query Metabase dashboards to answer natural language questions about campaign performance, conversion funnels, and attribution. They monitor saved questions for threshold breaches, generate summaries of dashboard trends, and correlate Metabase metrics with raw data from Google Ads, Salesforce, and Facebook to explain performance changes.
