Building on the success of previous years, this year’s edition of our premier customer event dove even deeper into exploring how SquaredUp users can leverage the power of their data. Our sessions featured real-life use cases, product demos, dashboarding tips and tricks, and live discussions with the SquaredUp team and fellow users.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides powerful tools for managing your cloud resources, but getting a clear, real-time view of your usage and costs can sometimes feel locked away behind complex reports. What if you could build beautiful, shareable dashboards that show you exactly what you're spending, where you're spending it, and how it trends over time? In this guide, we'll walk you through deploying a simple, secure OCI Function that acts as a proxy to OCI's Usage API.

SquaredUp's existing notifications fire when monitors change state. With Notification API, you control the trigger. Send dashboards on a schedule, before meetings, or on-demand through chat commands. In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to automate sending SquaredUp dashboards to Slack. I’ll use Power Automate as the example, but the same approach works with other automation tools such as Zapier, Make, n8n, or even a custom script, as long as it can send an HTTP request.
