Build your agent suite 5-30 minutes

Channels and alerts, one per audience. Each team hears only what they need.
Create destination channels
  • #metrics-leadership — CEO, founders, COO. Low volume, high signal.
  • #metrics-growth — paid media, marketing, growth leads.
  • #metrics-retention — lifecycle, subscription, CRM.
  • #metrics-ops — fulfillment, supply chain, inventory.
  • #metrics-finance — FP&A, CFO.
Wire one alert per channel

The point of separate channels is that each team only sees what is relevant to them. Open Polar → Metric Alerts and click + Create Alert. For each row below, name the alert, pick the metric, set the threshold, and route it to the matching Slack channel under Delivery.

  • #metrics-growth ← Blended ROAS drops below 1.80x
  • #metrics-growth ← Polar Pixel Conversion Rate drops >15% WoW
  • #metrics-finance ← CM3 below your floor
  • #metrics-finance ← Blended CAC above your ceiling
  • #metrics-retention ← Subscription cancellations spike >25%
  • #metrics-retention ← Repeat customer share drop
  • #metrics-ops ← Inventory days-of-cover below 14
  • #metrics-ops ← Refund volume spike >40%

The four patterns

Four ways Polar talks to Slack.

Almost every recipe in the playbook uses one of these four. Pick the right one for the job.
Alerts

Get pinged when something breaks.

Set a threshold and Polar pings the channel the moment it breaches. Daily, hourly, weekly whatever cadence keeps your team in the loop without becoming noise.

Blended ROAS, CAC ceilings, spend overruns, conversion drops
Absolute and relative thresholds catch sudden moves too
Scope to a channel, market, or brand via Views

Scheduled Reports

The same briefing, every morning.

Build the dashboard once, then schedule it to drop in Slack on whatever cadence you want. Charts come through as images so it reads like a real briefing.

Daily 7am CEO digest, weekly performance recap, end-of-month pacing
Per-channel, per-market, per-client agency setups
Chart images, not walls of numbers

The foundation

Operators check analytics twice a day.
They check Slack constantly.

That asymmetry is exactly the case for Polar → Slack. The data lives in Polar. Every channel, every cohort, every dollar of spend. But decisions get made wherever your team is already looking.
