Integrations
Where your data comes from, where the deck goes
Read from the file or sheet you already maintain. Deliver in whatever format the room expects — including a workbook built for the person who wants to check every number.
Connect your dataData in
Six ways to bring data in
All of them run through the same parse, snapshot and validation pipeline — a linked sheet gets exactly the same integrity guarantee as an uploaded file.
CSV, Excel and TSV files
Drag in the export you already produce. Structure, time columns and granularity are detected deterministically during parsing — there is no schema to define.
Up to 5 files per deckMulti-sheet workbooks
Every tab in an Excel workbook is ingested as its own data source, including long-format and metric-matrix layouts, so one workbook can drive a whole deck.
Published Google Sheets
Paste a Google Sheets "publish to web" CSV link. The deck stays attached to that sheet, so it can be refreshed in place or put on a schedule.
RefreshableGoogle Drive
Choose a file through Google's own picker. Access is granted per file under the narrow drive.file scope — nothing else in your Drive is readable.
RefreshableHosted CSV or Excel URLs
Point at any publicly reachable CSV or Excel file — a reporting export, a data warehouse dump, an S3 object. Fetches are size- and time-bounded and validated before anything is stored.
RefreshableChange detection
For linked sources, the deck notices when the file behind it has moved on and offers to regenerate at the same URL — so the link you shared stays current.
Deck out
Seven ways to deliver it
One validated deck, rendered for whoever is receiving it.
PowerPoint (.pptx)
A real editable deck with native charts — not images. Optionally appends data-lineage slides showing how each figure was computed.
Google Slides
Push the deck straight into Google Slides when that's where your team works.
A fixed version for board packs, data rooms and email attachments.
Word (.docx) and Markdown
The same findings as a written memo for readers who want prose. Rendered from the deck itself, so the two can't disagree.
Excel verification workbook
Every figure on every slide traced back to its source cell, with anything untraceable honestly marked unverified. Built for whoever wants to check your work.
Live share link
A read-only URL with optional password and expiry, its own presentation mode, and per-slide attention analytics.
Scheduled email delivery
For decks on a linked source, each scheduled run emails recipients the refreshed deck and PDF with a summary of what changed.
Linked sources onlyDon't see your system?
We'd rather list five things that work than twenty logos that don't. Most reporting systems can already export to a scheduled CSV or a Google Sheet, which InsightNarrative reads natively — and if a native connector would genuinely change your workflow, we want to hear which one and why.

Integration questions
Do you have a native connector for my CRM, billing or analytics system?+
Only the sources listed on this page — we won't pretend otherwise. In practice almost every business system can produce a scheduled CSV export to a URL or a Google Sheet, and InsightNarrative reads either of those on a schedule, which covers most recurring reporting. If a native connector would genuinely change your workflow, tell us which one and why.
What's the difference between uploading a file and linking one?+
An uploaded file is a point-in-time copy — simple, no account needed, but static. A linked source (a published Google Sheet, a hosted URL, or a Drive file) stays attached, so the deck can be refreshed in place, can warn you when the source changes, and can be put on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. Only linked-source decks can be scheduled.
How large a file can I use?+
Up to five files per deck, within an aggregate size limit that comfortably covers typical KPI, finance and product exports. Linked fetches are additionally bounded in size and time. If you're working with something much larger, get in touch.
Is my whole Google Drive exposed?+
No. The integration uses the drive.file scope, which grants access only to the specific files you select through Google's picker. We cannot list, search or read anything else, and you can revoke access from your Google account at any time.
Can I use several sources in one deck?+
Yes. Combine up to five sources — revenue from finance, engagement from product — and each retains its own lineage, so every figure still traces back to the exact file and cell it came from.
Put verified AI reporting to the test
Upload your data and check the output against your own spreadsheet. Every number in the deck is validated in code — that's the point.
