Questions, answered

Do stakeholders need a ThoughtSpot login to see this?

No, that's the point. The numbers land in a plain Google Sheet and an email, viewable without a ThoughtSpot seat.

Does WebRun change the Liveboard or its search?

No. It only reads the current answers shown. Editing a search, a chart, or the Liveboard itself stays a human task.

Who receives the summary email?

Only your internal stakeholder distribution list. It is never sent to anyone outside your organization.

Put this on autopilot.
