We use Metabase as the reporting tool on top of our customer's DW. A lot of our customers use MailChimp or Constant Contact. Would be great if they could build lists from Metabase to push to this platform.
We've moved this suggestion to our "Backlog" queue. At the current time we aren't intending to build this feature over the coming 18 months, but we will reconsider annually and if there are extra votes on this feature.

Hey tom.bellen@aysling.com, thanks for the great suggestion! Would be interested in how you see the workflow here. We've thought about it a little — it seems like the way to do this integration would be to install the integration then use the Vero UI to select a specific "Question" (or "Card", as they used to be called) from Metabase and then Vero loads in that data. I think we could only really support "Table" visualisations.
Perhaps there's a nicer way we could do this?

Chris Hexton: That is how I thought about it as well. Our DW has all customer data, including sales information. Right now, our customer do a search in our system to create a list that is then pushed to a 3rd party. The search capabilities in our UI are limited compared to what a user can do in Metabase. For example, you can do things like exclude or very detailed sales info.
If your system linked to a question that would update based on the query, the list would update more frequently and allow for a far more sophisticated search.
Thanks for the reply.

tom.bellen@aysling.com: this is very useful and the context makes sense. So the dream is: customer can select a question and that question can then have filters, etc. that the user can use to define the segment/audience. We'll investigate further and come back if/when we have more Qs!
