I think it would be pretty valuable to be able to have buttons in Dashboards.

Dashboards might often be used as a sort of cockpit that allows you to monitor daily/weekly activities/progress. It would be nice to be able to press a button and run a script based on what we see there instead of going into an entity to press the button.

Not sure how difficult this would be to implement

Hmm therr might be an existing solution, but I don’t quote understand the use case. Can you give some examples of what should happen when yoi press the button on a dashboard?

I have a use case, but it also requires global automations (not tied to a single entity).

On a dashboard I have set up, there are a ton of reports with values.  
This looks at a lot of financial data, statistics, etc., and is made specifically for each dept. manager.

They want to sign-off on what they see, which would be so much easier served with a button to automate it. The script could:

- Get the user from the button click
- Find their related entities
- Change those entities states (approved, archived, whatever)
- Send an email (to a user, a group of users, w/e)
- Create another entity of any type, which:
- Is detected by n8n, cascading through a bunch of scripts on a local machine, calling the Fibery API, generating PDF reports, attaching them to emails… the works

That’s the dream, though.

I like the UX of a button to create new records or link to pages (internal or external).  
For example, a dashboard view of a client project might include a button to open their customer record in Quickbooks. I can also add a shortcut button to create a new meeting in the meetings database.
