Advanced: Building Custom AI Analytics Workflows

Learn how to build custom analytics workflows with AI intelligence layers. Configure alerts, automate reports, and create role-based insights.

When Default Workflows Aren't Enough

OLARI's default insights work well for most businesses. But as you grow, you may need:

  • Custom metrics specific to your business model
  • Role-based reports for different team members
  • Complex alert conditions
  • Integration with existing workflows
  • This guide covers advanced configuration options.

    Custom Metrics

    Creating Calculated Metrics

    Beyond standard metrics like MRR and churn, you can create:

    Example: Net Revenue Retention (NRR)

    ```

    NRR = (Starting MRR + Expansion - Contraction - Churn) / Starting MRR × 100

    ```

    Example: Quick Ratio

    ```

    Quick Ratio = (New MRR + Expansion MRR) / (Contraction MRR + Churned MRR)

    ```

    Segment-Specific Metrics

    Create metrics for specific customer segments:

  • Enterprise vs. SMB churn rates
  • Marketing channel-specific CAC
  • Product tier retention curves
  • Advanced Alert Configuration

    Multi-Condition Alerts

    Trigger alerts only when multiple conditions are met:

    Example: High-Value Churn Risk

  • Account value > $1,000/month AND
  • Usage declined > 30% over 2 weeks AND
  • No support contact in 30 days
  • Escalation Rules

    Configure different responses based on severity:

  • **Low**: Email notification
  • **Medium**: Slack message + email
  • **High**: SMS + Slack + email + auto-create task
  • Time-Based Rules

  • Only alert during business hours
  • Aggregate alerts for batch delivery
  • Different thresholds for weekdays vs. weekends
  • Role-Based Reporting
