Intelligent Agents are another main objective in using Nucleus. Agents take several possible forms, but the general idea is to send data insights to users rather than waiting for them to view Storyboards. The advantage to this is when you want to deliver regular reports to users, keep a beat on your data, or be notified immediately when insights occur so appropriate action can be taken.
There are several types of Agents to support different needs:
| Agent Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Alerts | Send a message when specific conditions occur within the data. | Send me a text message when Current Year Sales exceeds our goal of $1,000,000. |
| Scheduled Snapshots | Send users a capture of a specific Visual or Storyboard on a regular schedule. | Send out monthly Sales Reports to each sales team. |
| Custom Reports | Send a fully customizable message to users on a schedule or based on specific conditions. | Send a customized report to the Client when their platform usage exceeds their contract amount. |
