Understanding Snapshot Emails, Slack Alerts, Reports, and Subscriptions

  • Updated

Snapshot emails, Slack alerts, and reports are based on Auto-Create Account Lists, where the Account Owner field defines who receives them and the accounts they would be interested in. See Set Up Auto-Create Account Lists for more information.

Snapshot Emails

A snapshot is delivered by email and includes a standard out-of-the-box set of sections. The sections show data visually, as opposed to reports, which present data in tables. Snapshots are most useful when based on accounts because this provides the most relevant information for your sales team.

The best way to get a feel for a snapshot is to subscribe yourself to an account list snapshot, which includes all the sections. A few example sections are shown below with company information blurred out. In the actual email, you’ll be able to scroll through all the sections.

Subscriptions to Snapshot Emails

Demandbase automatically subscribes account owners to receive the weekly Account List Snapshot emails when you set up an Auto-Create Account List. To configure them, see Customize Snapshot Emails.

You can also create a subscription for a snapshot using the following workflows:

  • Any snapshot: Settings_N.png Settings > Analytics > Subscriptions: The most generalized workflow, so you'll have to select the Subscription type (Personalized), Channel (Email or Slack), Report type (Snapshot), and Recipients.
  • Personalized only: Settings_N.png Settings > Analytics > Auto-Create Account Lists > Configure Snapshot Subscriptions > Create: For a Personalized subscription that you're creating or managing for the Owner Type.

See Create and Manage Snapshot, Slack Alert, and Report Subscriptions for more information.

Slack Alerts

Slack alerts deliver information about who’s engaging with your website. They’re based on auto-create account list settings, similar to Snapshot emails, so Demandbase automatically delivers them to account owners. They enable sales reps to follow up on sales insights about anonymous and known visitor web engagement quickly, increasing the odds that they’ll get a response from their personalized outreach.

Sales reps can customize alerts by including or excluding accounts and excluding specific web pages. This allows them to focus on the highest value or most relevant account web visits, without getting inundated by constant alerts. See Create or Customize Slack Alerts

Subscriptions to Slack Alerts

Demandbase automatically subscribes you to Slack alerts based on the accounts you own.

To edit your subscription, from the left navigation bar, go to Settings_N.png Settings > My Profile > My Subscriptions and click the Edit Subscription icon in the Actions column.

Reports 

A report is a table of data based on specific criteria important to various team members.

A report is based on a specific type of list: account, activity, people, or opportunity, which is often referred to as the member type

There are four types of reports, corresponding to member type they're based on:

  • Account Reports
  • Person Reports
  • Activity Reports
  • Opportunity Reports

Demandbase includes a set of out-of-the-box reports with preconfigured Selector criteria and report layouts. You can customize these preconfigured reports or create new reports to send to various teams.

Subscriptions to Reports

You can create a subscription for a report using the following workflows:

  • Any report: Settings_N.png Settings > Analytics > Subscriptions: The most generalized workflow, so you'll have to select the Subscription type (List or Personalized), Channel (Email or Slack), Report type (Report), and Recipients.
  • For the report you're on: Analytics2.png Analytics > Reports: Within the Create Reports workflow, so it automatically subscribes to the report you're on.
  • Your own subscriptions: Settings_N.png Settings > My Profile > My Subscriptions > Create Subscription: For a List Subscription for yourself.

See Create and Manage Snapshot, Slack Alert, and Report Subscriptions for more information.

Subscriptions

A subscription is a way of delivering data, such as reports or snapshots, to an individual or team through email or Slack.

There are two types of report subscriptions:

  • Single List Subscription: Use this option to send a report, based on the same list, to yourself or a few people.
  • Personalized Subscription: Use this option to send this report to team members so they see only the members (accounts, people, opportunities, activities) that they own. It automatically looks for new users added to CRM.

Subscription Options

You can create a subscription using the following workflows:

  • Any subscription: Settings_N.png Settings > Analytics > Subscriptions: The most generalized workflow, so you'll have to select the Subscription type (List or Personalized), Channel (Email or Slack), Report type (Report or Snapshot), and Recipients. This is also a good place to see a complete list of all the subscriptions your company has, both List and Personalized.
  • For the report you're creating: Analytics2.png Analytics > Reports: Within the Create Reports workflow, so it automatically subscribes to the report you're creating.
  • Personalized subscription: Settings_N.png Settings > Analytics > Auto-Create Account Lists > Configure Snapshot Subscriptions > Create or Manage: For a Personalized subscription for the Owner Field that you're creating or managing.
  • Your own subscriptions: Settings_N.png Settings > My Profile > My Subscriptions > Create Subscription: For a List Subscription for yourself.

See Create and Manage Snapshot, Slack Alert, and Report Subscriptions for more information.
