How to Get the Most Out of Your BI Tools
summary
Shows concrete ways to extend BI: use the web data connector or connector SDK to pull APIs like AlphaVantage, use the Hyper API for local extracts, and use the REST API plus webhooks to automate tasks (demo sends an email via Glitch/IFTTT on extract refresh). Demonstrates embedding with JavaScript APIs, building an extension API write-back that orders inventory (updates an Excel-backed mock and the dashboard immediately), and custom visuals; all demos run and the automations and write-back work end-to-end.
