Build your own
The five guides are starting points, not a menu. PulseDeck doesn’t know or care what your reports are about — it stores structured blocks and renders them. If something in your world produces numbers, events, or status on a schedule, it fits.
The pattern fits anything
Section titled “The pattern fits anything”Every guide is the same three moves — and they don’t change with the subject:
- Plan the structure — a category and a stream slug for the data.
- Send the report — your agent gathers the numbers and
POSTs a report of blocks, on whatever schedule makes sense. - Build the dashboard — drop in widgets that read them.
Learn the loop once (start with the Quickstart) and the subject is just data.
More ideas to steal
Section titled “More ideas to steal”A few directions beyond the five guides — none of these needed a new feature, just a different report:
- Deployments & releases — every deploy posts status, duration, and what changed.
- Data-pipeline health — row counts, freshness, and failed jobs per run.
- Customer support — daily ticket volume, first-response time, CSAT trend.
- Security & compliance — scan results, exposed-secret alerts, patch status.
- Content & marketing — publish cadence, traffic, campaign results.
- Research digests — an agent’s daily reading, summarized into one report.
- Sensors & IoT — temperature, occupancy, battery — anything with a reading.
- Finance & ops — invoices, payroll runs, inventory, SLA breaches.
- Personal automations — your own scripts reporting on themselves.
If it runs on a schedule and has something to say, it belongs in PulseDeck.
Share your use case
Section titled “Share your use case”Built something with PulseDeck? Tell us — we add the good ones to these docs so others can follow along, with credit to you.
- Open a discussion or issue on GitHub describing the job, the report you send, and the dashboard you built.
- A screenshot or your report/dashboard JSON is plenty — we’ll turn it into a guide.
The more scenarios people share, the more useful this section gets for everyone.
