โœจ [Closed Beta] Dynamic Content Block

Weโ€™re excited to announce Dynamic Content Blocks, now available in Canvas Dashboards!

Dynamic Content Block overview

Dynamic Content Blocks let you build custom, data-driven narratives and visual components using Markdown / HTML / CSS, and have them automatically update with live data from your models (no manual copy/paste into slides).

1. Narratives with Live Dataโ€‹

Transform raw data into stories that drive action. Instead of forcing stakeholders to interpret complex charts, you can now deliver insights in plain language that refreshes automatically.

Dynamic Content Block - Narrative with live data
  • Automated Insights: Generate commentary like "Revenue increased by 12.4% compared to Q2 2025" instead of static text.
  • Executive Summaries: Highlight top performers, trends, and anomalies in natural language.
  • Alert-style Messaging: Surface critical changes or thresholds in a readable format directly on the dashboard.

2. Custom Visualizationsโ€‹

Break free from built-in chart types and create any visualization your business needs.

Dynamic Content Block - Custom visualizations
  • Specialized Charts: Create Dumbbell charts, Kanban boards, calendar heatmaps, or custom gauges.
  • Branded Layouts: Design product catalogs, metric cards, or KPI displays that match your exact company visual identity.
  • Detailed Record Views: Build rich customer profiles or deal summaries that combine text, metrics, and formatting.

3. Custom Dashboard Controlsโ€‹

You can even create custom controls for your dashboards, such as tailored filter or date drill interfaces, utilizing the freedom of HTML and cross-filtering mechanisms.

Notes & current limitations

  • No JavaScript execution in templates (HTML/CSS only), for security reasons.
  • Docs launch with 4 starter templates; weโ€™ll expand the library over time.
