1.Receives KPI payloads
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and webhook processing tools to extract KPI fields and prepare token inputs for the dashboard image.
Create updated KPI dashboard image and upload to embeds
Automatically monitor incoming KPI payloads across Webhooks by Zapier and Zapier Tables. Create and update KPI dashboard images and embeds when KPI values arrive, milestone dates change, or timestamps refresh—so you can fetch targets, format dashboard tokens, and upload the updated embed without manual dashboard updates.
How this automation updates your KPI dashboard embeds
When incoming KPI payloads arrive, dashboard images can fall out of date and shared embeds become inconsistent. This automation extracts KPI fields, finds target metadata, formats values, creates a dashboard image, and uploads the updated embed—so your team can refresh KPIs without manual image replacements.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
