Our Goal

Help users create reports faster and automate anything that needs to be done a second time.

  1. Pull metrics and dimensions from external sources like Facebook Ads, Google Analytics, MySQL, etc or any API
  2. Design your dashboard / report in Google Sheets
  3. Keep your reports fresh with up-to-date data 
  4. Email Automated Reports/PDF/Excel files

Let me show you the basic blocks of TMR. 

There are 3 main sections in TMR, that you can use to create your Report or Dashboard. You can find them by clicking the hamburger menu in the TMR sidebar.

  1. Data Sources
    • This is where you will connect your data from Facebook Ads, MySQL, Google Search Console, etc. with Two-Minute-Reports
    • You can add as many data sources that you’d want or remove old ones from your account, in this section
  2. Data Queries
    • This is where you’d define which data to pull from your data source and save it into Google Sheets.
    • You can customize the date range, metrics, dimensions, etc for your data in this section.
    • You can create multiple queries and fetch as much data as possible into Google Sheets
  3. ScheduleReports
    • You may want to automatically update your data and send automatic reports to your audience. You can do that in this section.
    • You can schedule Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly based on your needs
    • Once a schedule is created, all the data queries in that spreadsheet will be refreshed at the selected time
    • You can just schedule data refreshes or send entire spreadsheets as an Email report, with or without PDF/Excel attachments based on your needs

Additionally to help recreate new reports from your existing ones we have a new section called, My Reports

  1. My Reports
    • After creating a report, you can duplicate and create new derivatives out of it
    • You can retain the data formatting, queries used to create the report
    • This can be useful when you have created a report for Client A and want to duplicate a similar report for another Client B.
    • With just a few clicks you can recreate a completely new report in seconds.
