The problem it solves

You track community engagement numbers in a spreadsheet, but your Orbit dashboard doesn't automatically reflect them, so someone has to copy the latest figures over by hand. That extra step is easy to forget, which leaves your community metrics out of date.

Who it fits

Community managers who track engagement data in a spreadsheet but manage their community in Orbit.

How it works

  1. The workflow runs on the schedule you set
  2. The latest metrics are pulled from your Google Sheet
  3. The figures are matched to the right entries in Orbit
  4. Orbit is updated with the current numbers automatically
What you get

Orbit numbers that always match your spreadsheet

Your Orbit community dashboard stays current with the metrics you already track in your spreadsheet, no re-entry needed.

What you get

An up-to-date Orbit dashboard reflecting your latest spreadsheet metrics.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an Orbit account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
