Question 1

How do I publish a dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Add Dashies as an MCP connector in your AI tool with one copied command, then ask it to publish. Your first publish opens the browser to sign in over OAuth - there is no token to paste.

Question 2

What can the AI generate?

Accepted Answer

A single self-contained HTML file - inline styles, scripts, and data. Anything an AI tool can write as HTML works. No BI license and no rebuilding by hand.

Question 3

How does refresh work?

Accepted Answer

Scheduled auto-refresh is the one feature you pay for. On Pro and above you set a schedule - hourly, daily, or weekly - and Dashies re-runs the dashboard on it, keeping the same URL current, with refresh history and failure alerts. On Free, dashboards are static and update only when you republish them.

Question 4

Can dashboards refresh from my own database?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on Pro and above. Connect your own Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Databricks, or Microsoft SQL Server data source and Dashies refreshes your dashboards on the schedule you set. Credentials are stored as protected secrets and used only for the read-only queries you configure.

Question 5

What happens to my link if I rename a dashboard?

Accepted Answer

The old URL keeps working. A rename mints a new canonical .dashies.xyz/ link and 301-redirects the previous one, so links you have already shared do not break.

Question 6

Who counts as an editor?

Accepted Answer

An editor is anyone who builds dashboards or connects data, and each one needs a paid seat. Everyone else only views, and viewing is always free - public or private, with no cap on viewers. You pay for the people who create, never for the people who read.

Question 7

What counts as a "dashy"?

Accepted Answer

A dashy is one published HTML dashboard at its own URL. Every plan includes unlimited public dashboards - the paid difference is scheduled auto-refresh, private dashboards, and connecting your own data, not how many dashies you publish.

Dashies.
