> TBH, I would have expected that more services like Stripe, YouTube, etc be added to Vizydrop to supplement the gap in integrations.

Actually, the work required to add extra services to vizydrop would basically be similar to the effort in creating a native integration. So if we did work on Stripe or YT, it would be to achieve a native sync/integration, from which reports could then be generated.

Say it louder for the people in the back. I’ve been vocal across the forum about this for a while.

This [thread](https://community.fibery.io/t/integration-sync-delays-are-blocking-workflow/8701) I posted a bit ago kind of got lost in the noise, but it sums up the same pain point.

Fibery could own this space and blow alternatives out of the water if native integrations and formulas were stronger.

Coda just announced they’re finally splitting databases from docs. If they pull that off smoothly, it puts them in a very strong position.

I’d happily trade some of the AI focus for a more robust Fibery that sharpens the function language, improves markup, and delivers reliable native integrations.

I understand somewhat the frustration, but usage was astonishingly low, like 80 reports in ALL active accounts. It complicated the setup and to me it is very hard to justify keeping them. The right approach is to bring data into Fibery for missing things.

I’m all for bringing data into Fibery.

This sounds amazing! Is this on the roadmap? Will we have opportunities to share what we need/how we would use new integrations? Like [Fibery UX/UI enhancements](https://community.fibery.io/t/fibery-ux-ui-enhancements/8368) or [🧐 Your opinion needed. Automations in Fibery (limitations and opportunities)](https://community.fibery.io/t/your-opinion-needed-automations-in-fibery-limitations-and-opportunities/9819) ?

I’m _currently_ running my business in Fibery and the right approach is not accessible. So what do we do today?

Also, I’m willing to believe that the vision for what Fibery does do, can do, and will do is shaped by some larger target than just what today’s users do the most…

Some of my sources have millions of records – is this something Fibery’s databases can support if I wanted to bring that data in?

No, but Reports will not handle it as well in any case even from external data source, it is a limitation of our reports engine. I’d say it can handle up to 300K-500K records maybe, but even in this case it will be 20-30 mins to load for the first time (if it will work at all).

When you say no one was ready for the work, do you mean that none of the partners were interested, or that they all expected implementation to be too challenging, or maybe something else?

As far as I can tell, the request for a Stripe integration here in the community barely makes it into the top 50 of highest number of votes amongst feature requests not yet implemented.  
Given that there is a 3rd party option, I think it’s unlikely we will tackle it any time soon, sorry.

The vision for what Fibery can become is not likely to be centered on being able to generate analytics reports from external data sources. This just isn’t the target, and not the space for Fibery to play in and try to win.

In light of the discussion on here around the lack of needed integrations, I wanted to get yall’s input on what integrations you want to see in Fibery and build them out for you 🫶

These will be paid services, but I’d love to hear from you what you think would be a fair price.

Here’s the form, appreciate if you can take the time to input!

Hope to add value very shortly!

I didn’t get a response from most partners I reached out to. For a few I spoke to, native integrations are either outside their specialty or time tracking/clockify was outside their niche.  
I should correct my earlier statement of _no one being ready._ I had a great discussion and quote from @Dimitri_S (although outside my budget at the time, very high on my list for future collaborations).

Fibery has never centered analytics from external sources, but in one week and with no notice, the realm of what’s possible in Fibery shifted. Let’s not chase a red herring. This isn’t about whether Fibery should be a Power BI replacement. The bigger concern is the fact that all apps in this space acknowledge the need to work with external data. We don’t have many ways to so, just lost one, and the change management regarding that loss is poor.  
The focus should be on these questions: Is this a workspace and hub for teams or not? What is the UX or recommended solution for supporting team members whose work happens off platform?

This is where feature requests for better embeds, mentions, cloud files, integrations all align. A desire to make Fibery an app that supports collaboration for all team members

</div>

Given the low adoption of reports based on non-Fibery sources, and the disproportionate amount of resources that were devoted to support/maintenance, it felt sensible to focus on limiting reports to Fibery data. This frees up developers to support functionality that is much more widely used (whilst also simplifying the UI - which maybe also helps a little with addressing some complaints people have about Fibery ux/ui and learning curve).

That’s just a bit of an explanation behind the decision.

Strong request for Drag and Drop to create new Entities. I thought that’s what “Drag and drop” was referring to in the original announcement, actually.

Sidenote: does Gallery View only support Files for Covers/Gallery Image at present? If it supports other options are those documented anywhere?

I was going to get into this in another topic about my Notion import experience, but I’m still writing it. 😅

As with everything lately my reference point is Notion. Fibery doesn’t have the concept of an Entity “Cover” (header/background image), so the main other option would be “Page contents”, i.e. “find first image in Rich Text and use that”. For my purposes it’s a must-have, at least for anything coming from Notion. This is because Notion’s file handling isn’t very good and it’s easier and better to just embed images into page contents, especially since Notion still allows these to be viewed as a “Gallery”. There’s little downside for image contents to just be in a Page and so people use that a lot where in Fibery they might have been more oriented to use Files.

Even with Fibery’s nicer file handling now, I still think an option to choose a Rich Text and find the first image in it would be appreciated!

I see, it is relatively hard to do, so we will not go for it in nearest future, but we will collect requests

For my purposes an alternative feature request would be to be able to convert images in Notion Page contents import into Files in Fibery. There is some sense in this because layouts are already destroyed when coming into Fibery, images are max-sized, columns are gone. My primary use case for column layouts in Notion involves images. I’d personally prefer to move images to Files field if it were possible, but I realize this is probably also a niche request.

Hmm, I can just try it, but I wonder if Fibery AI can work with Rich Text well enough to find images in Rich Text and move to Files as a post-import task? 🤔

Not so niche! I had to do this exact thing by hand when importing a couple hundred pages.

Anyone using gallery view with photos in Notion usually just put the image in the page content instead of file… unfortunately.
