Product updates

Easily report historical performance (Facebook Ads, Google Search Console, YouTube, Matomo)

You can now build widgets that report on performance over a historical time period, using new time filters that have been added to our Facebook Ads, Google Search Console, YouTube and Matomo data sources, as well as Zendesk Support.

Unlike our standard time filters (such as today, past 7 days, this month etc), which allow metrics to evolve based on current and future data, our new time filters cover periods of time that have already elapsed; yesterday, last week and last month.

This opens up many possibilities for creating regular reports that wrap up how things have gone over the past day, week or month - particularly handy when using email and Slack snapshots!

We’ve also added two highly-requested filters to most other GA4 metrics - “contains” and “does not contain” - making it easier to dial your GA4 widgets in to monitor the specific parts of your website you’re interested in.

REMINDER: On July 1st 2023, Google will no longer process data on Universal Google Analytics properties. If you haven’t already, we strongly recommend following Google’s instructions for updating tracking pin your website, and replacing Google analytics widgets on your Geckoboard dashboards with GA4 equivalents.

Improvements to our YouTube data source

We’ve shipped a major update to our YouTube data source, adding 16 new metrics that include card clicks and card click-through-rate, annotation clicks, number of YouTube Red views, and number times your videos have been added to or removed from playlists. More filters have been added too, allowing you to filter shares by subscribe status, and break metrics down by continent and sub-continent.

Finally, YouTube now includes our recently added Interactive View, allowing you to quickly dig into specific metrics and uncover more detail, without having to jump into YouTube or other tools.

Interactive View (beta)

Investigate interesting changes to your metrics in Geckoboard, without jumping into more complicated tools, with our new Interactive View (currently in beta).

NB: This beta is currently available on Zendesk Support, Intercom, Facebook Ads, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Shopify and Stripe widgets.

Sometimes seeing a number change on your dashboard can make you want to dig a bit deeper to understand what’s going on. Spikes in support tickets… drops in website traffic… unexpected changes in ad spend… a quick diagnosis of what’s going on can make all the difference.

Unfortunately, investigating further often means opening up much more complicated tools that make surfacing the data you need tricky (or in some cases, impossible). So we’re excited to announce the beta of Interactive View - a new way to quickly unpack metrics, right within Geckoboard.
