Dashboards that update every week, by themselves
Your AI already knows how to build the dashboard. Put it on a schedule and it rebuilds it with fresh numbers, then updates it on the fridge. Same link for the whole team, every version kept, and a “data as of” date so everyone knows how fresh it is.

- Connect your AI to DashfridgeOne time. See Connect your AI.
- Publish the first version, then turn on auto-publishCheck the first version yourself and press Publish. Then, on the dashboard's page, choose Turn on auto-publish. From then on, updates from your AI go live without waiting for a click. Leave it off if you'd rather approve each week's version.
- Give your AI a scheduled taskMost AI assistants can now run a prompt on a schedule: look for “scheduled tasks” or “Tasks”. Your AI also needs access to where the numbers live, like your CRM, accounting tool or a spreadsheet. Then use a prompt like this:
The prompt
Every Monday at 7am: 1. Pull last week's numbers from [our CRM / the "Sales 2026" spreadsheet]. 2. Rebuild the "Weekly sales" dashboard with the new numbers. Keep the same layout. 3. Update it on the fridge with publish_dashboard, using dashboard_id [paste it from the dashboard's page] and data_as_of set to today.
Good to know
- Only people who can edit the dashboard can turn auto-publish on or off.
- Every refresh is a new version. If one looks wrong, open an earlier version and publish it again.
- Brand-new dashboards from AI tools always start as drafts. Auto-publish only applies to updates.
