Howdy Hunters,
I’m Mike, Co-founder of Statsbot, along with @keydunov and @paveltiunov87.
With our first launches on PH we had enormous success and right now more than 16 000 slack teams are using Statsbot. But it’s time to move forward and we are thrilled to show you Statsbot Alerts today.
With access to too many applications, it is impossible for them to monitor all metrics, all the time. The Smart Alerts examines patterns in data, using machine learning and anomaly detection (ask @paveltiunov87 whats under the hood). Statsbot analyzes thousands of data combinations in minutes to focus you on critical changes in your data.
Happy to get the feedback from community.
@mike_melanin@keydunov@paveltiunov87 16k slack teams?! Holy shit!! Congrats - I knew you were doing well, but that is seriously well :) especially considering you launched on PH like 8 months ago
@mike_melanin@keydunov@paveltiunov87 Congrats team on launching this. I remember sitting in the events space at betaworks talking to Artyom about this feature.
@bentossell well I was one of the 16k until the recent switch to the new plans. For my own purposes it's much easier for me to run most features with other tools (both free and paid) that have way more customization options and end up costing me less than Statsbot.
Smaller startups need to be frugal and save time and money wherever they can, or, at least, get the most out of every penny they spend.
Take Zapier, for example. Aside from alerts, it can do everything Statsbot can do at a fraction of the cost. For $50/month (same price as Statsbot's Basic plan) you can get 50x more reports and unlimited Slack users. Salesforce and GA are already supported (GA with a workaround), and the Mixpanel integration is just around the corner.
For that reason, unfortunately, I don't see how Statsbot will add value to my business at the moment.
@mike_melanin, please correct me if I'm wrong here.
@bulygind@bentossell Thank you for your feedback!
We love Zapier, It is a great tool for scenarios.
With Statsbot we want to focus more on intersection of BI and messaging, building robust NLP around that and proactive notifications.
We are small startup itself and know how important it is to save every penny you can. That’s why we are giving 50% discount on any plan for startups and 100% discount on any plan for non-profits.
BTW, We’d love to learn more about the set of other tools you mentioned, besides Zapier. Could you ping us on ?
Statsbot is actually one of those USEFUL bots :)
I believe they took part in the @betaworks@botcamp demo day yesterday
This new 'Alerts' system looks really cool - often a lot simpler than always keeping GA open and screen-shotting to send in Slack when something cool is happening (or bad!). This does it for you!
Cool feature! How is it different from Google Analytics Intelligence Events? As you may know, they are going to remove this feature from GA soon. it used to sent dozens of notifications per day like 'Sessions +188% Country: United States, Region: Texas' or '% New Sessions Referral Path: m.facebook.com/ +231%', etc.
Do you have ideas how to find a signal among noise?
@mishlaev_vitaliy thank you for a great question! Yep. Right. Unfortunately GA alerts will be discarded soon. We're different because we analyze seasonal and trend parts of a signal to detect significant changes in behavior of your metric and not changes in averages like GA does. We're focusing to deliver these insights in timely manner and along with this our main priority is to minimize false positives as much as we can.
Dashboards are great, but, in most cases, they are not actionnables. This solution looks terrific to get actionnables insights or uncover new patterns to drive growth!
This is gonna make people love reports !
Also looks like a great implementation of what Nir Eyal said in his amazing article > "Die Dashboards, Die! Why Conversations Will Reinvent Software" http://www.nirandfar.com/?p=1816
This is one of the most important things in the analytics installation in most apps that is always missing.
Because yeah, you need analytics to get answers to your questions about how you can grow your business faster and increase revenue and lifetime and referrals and all that, but as importantly, you want to get notified when something happens in the app that affects your business performance.
Maybe you got hunted. Maybe the onboarding screen’s broken and your retention is 10x lower than it should be. Maybe you’re launching 10 features simultaneously and have too much on your plate to go check out the analytics dashboard every day yourself — you don’t want to miss that spike.
It's not about automatically sharing daily digests to #general — that's been around for years. What is important is a way to nudge the right people when the right metric surges.
So, yeah, analytics alerts to Slack would be <3.
Thanks for building this, Artem, Pavel & Mike. You guys rock.
@dmitry_matskevich hey! Thank you for question. Right now @statsbotco supports Bitly, ChartBeat, Keen.io, Facebook Insights, Intercome and New Relic in private beta. Actually we are going to open API later this year.
Hi Mike! Statsbot Alerts for Slack seems to be again new cool feature to keep on track with analytics without missing anything enormous. Congratulations!
Will it work automatically for Statsbot version in Telegram https://chatbottle.co/bots/stats... or it's gonna be next loud release ?
@sabanskiy Thank you!
Statsbot Telegram version does not support Smart Alerts yet. We will release a new version with Smart Alerts and other new features in Telegram as well soon.
I've used this before and loved it. Just as some apps provide seriously key value & make me love my smartphone - It's bots like this that make me an evangelist for @Slack. @statsbotco@hnshah
Awesome work - glad I was able to watch you guys present yesterday at demo day. Bringing back to our team to see how we can incorporate into our existing processes.
