# Quickstart
Source: https://docs.usedaymark.io/getting-started/quickstart
Understand how Daymark works and follow a simple path to your first AI-powered insight.
## What to know before you start
Prepare at least one data source: Google Sheets, a CSV file, or a PostgreSQL database. Daymark will pull data from these data sources.
You can start with a specific business question, or use Daymark’s starter questions to explore your data right away.
Follow the steps below inside your workspace to reach your first usable insight.
***
## Quickstart: Create your first insight
### 1. Open Daymark and go to Explore
Log in to your Daymark workspace. The Explore page opens with a chatbox where you can ask questions and a visible **Add Data Source** button.
***
### 2. Connect your data
1. Click **Add Data Source** on the Explore page.
2. Choose where your data lives:
* **Google Sheets:** Authenticate and select the sheet or tab you want to analyze.
* **Upload CSV file:** Upload a CSV file directly.
* **PostgreSQL:** Enter your database connection details.
* **Demo sample data:** Use a sample dataset if you're just exploring Daymark.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the connection.
Once connected, Daymark indexes your data automatically so you can start asking questions immediately.
***
### 3. Ask a question in plain English
Type your question into the chat box as if you were talking to a teammate:
* “What were our total sales last month by region?”
* “Which product had the highest daily active users this quarter?”
* “Daily sign-ups vs conversions this month.”
You can also pick from the **suggested questions** in the chat. You don’t need to know table names or write SQL. Just describe what you want to understand.
***
### 4. Review and refine the visual answer
Daymark returns an answer as a **chart or table**, depending on your question:
* Bar charts for comparisons
* Line charts for trends over time
* Tables for detailed records
If the result isn’t exactly what you need, create a new query and ask the question again.
***
### 5. Add the insight to a dashboard
When you see an answer worth tracking:
1. Click the **⋮** menu on the top-right of the chart.
2. Select **Add to Dashboard**.
3. Choose to create a new dashboard or add it to an existing one.
***
### 6. Share and keep everyone aligned
Open the dashboard view and click **Share**. Enter your teammates’ email addresses to give them access.
They’ll receive a secure link and always see the latest version of the dashboard, powered directly by your data.
***
## What’s next
Learn how to add additional databases, Sheets, or CSV workflows.
Create a shareable dashboard that keeps your key metrics and charts in one place.
With your first insight live, keep iterating: ask the next question, add it to the same dashboard, and build a Product, Revenue, or Ops view grounded in real data.
# Chart Types
Source: https://docs.usedaymark.io/glossary/chart-types
Understand how Daymark selects charts for your questions
## Overview
Daymark chooses a chart or table based on the type of question you ask.
Use the guide below to understand what each chart type is best suited for.
***
## Chart Selection Guide
| Chart Type | Primary Goal | Best Used For |
| --------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Pie | Composition | Showing parts of a whole |
| Scatter | Correlation | Finding relationships between two variables |
| Funnel | Sequence | Identifying drop-offs in a process |
| Bar (Multiple) | Comparison | Comparing different groups in the same category |
| Bar (Stacked) | Part-to-Whole + Total | Showing how categories contribute to a total sum |
| Line (Multiple) | Trends | Tracking how several items change over time |
| Table | Detail | Displaying high-precision, multi-variable data |
***
## Tips for Better Charts
* Use time-based questions for line charts
* Use category comparisons for bar charts
* Use funnels for conversion steps
* Use tables when exact values matter
Daymark will still choose the chart automatically, but clearer questions yield more useful visuals.

# Connect HubSpot
Source: https://docs.usedaymark.io/tutorials/connect-hubspot
Connect HubSpot to Daymark with guided steps
## Overview
Daymark's HubSpot connector brings your HubSpot CRM data into Daymark so you can analyze it alongside other sources—like your product database (PostgreSQL), Google Sheets, and CSVs. This empowers your team to answer cross-source questions, such as connecting product usage to acquisition sources, revenue to acquisition sources, or support outcomes to customer cohorts.
Ask questions in plain English and Daymark automatically returns the right output (charts, tables, and summaries). Save answers into dashboards that can be updated and shared as a single source of truth across marketing, sales, success, and product teams.
Daymark respects HubSpot permissions—users only see data they're authorized to access. The connector is **read-only** for HubSpot and operates within HubSpot API usage limits and guidelines.
Daymark uses synced HubSpot data to power analytics, dashboards, and cross-source questions when you connect additional sources like PostgreSQL, Google Sheets, or CSVs. Daymark does **not** write data back to HubSpot.

# Question Best Practices
Source: https://docs.usedaymark.io/tutorials/question-best-practices
Write clear questions to get precise insights
## Overview
Daymark works best when questions are specific and tied to a decision.
This guide shows how to frame questions so the results are accurate and easy to act on.
***
## Start with the Decision
Before asking a question, clarify the decision it supports:
* What action will you take if the result changes?
* Who needs the answer and when?
* What metric defines success?
***
## Use Clear, Concrete Language
Well-scoped questions reduce ambiguity and improve chart selection.
Include the key elements below when relevant:
* **Metric** (revenue, signups, churn rate)
* **Timeframe** (last 30 days, Q2, month over month)
* **Segment** (plan type, region, channel)
* **Comparison** (this month vs last month, A vs B)
Example:
* Instead of: "How are we doing?"
* Ask: "What is the month-over-month revenue change for Enterprise customers in Q2?"
***
## Align Question Type to the Output
Different question types produce different visuals:
* **Trends** → line charts
* **Comparisons** → bar charts
* **Composition** → stacked bars or pie charts
* **Funnel steps** → funnel charts
* **Exact values** → tables
If you want a specific view, ask in a way that implies it.
***
## Ask in Layers
Start simple, then refine:
1. Ask a broad question to establish the baseline
2. Narrow by time, segment, or category
3. Compare to a previous period or cohort
Example:
* "What is churn rate this quarter?"
* "Break churn rate by plan type."
* "Compare churn by plan type vs last quarter."
***
## Use Column Names When Possible
When you can, reference the actual column names from your data source.
This helps Daymark match your question to the right fields.
***
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
* Asking multiple unrelated questions at once
* Omitting timeframes for trend questions
* Using vague terms like "better" or "worse" without a metric
***
## Next Steps
If you are new to Daymark, start with suggested questions in the chat and refine from there.

### Step 2: Ask a question
In a Slack channel where the app is present, mention `@Daymark` and ask your question:
```text theme={null}
@Daymark What is the monthly revenue trend?
```
Daymark will reply in the same Slack thread with a report link and overview based on your request.
Example questions:
* "What is the monthly revenue trend?"
* "Which products grew the fastest this quarter?"
* "Show pipeline created this month by owner"
While Daymark processes the request:
* `👀` appears while the request is running
* `✅` appears when the response succeeds
* `⚠️` appears if the request fails
Once Daymark is connected and invited to a channel, your team can ask data questions and get answers directly in Slack.
