DB OAuth Passthrough (soon), Lots of Spreadsheets, Unlimited Excel Downloads, More Better Vis, Embed Error Eventing, and More

July 11, 2025

  • Getting close to the launch of OAuth passthrough from the database in Omni. This would allow Omni to absorb any per-user permissioning from the database.

  • Lots of spreadsheets

    • Now you can bring your spreadsheets to Omni. We're not talking CSVs, we're talking real spreadsheets, formulas and all. We'll even intelligently map to live workbook tabs for easy import/export workflows with live data.

    • We removed the row limit on Excel downloads - formulas, formats, and all. Now the Excel 1M row limit is your only constraint.

    • Sometimes you actually just want a full spreadsheet on your dashboard tabs and all. Now you can.

    • For folks in the spreadsheet beta, we've built a converter from the single-tab experience into our new multi-tab spreadsheets.

  • When Omni is the core product, like in many embedded use cases, developers need clear tooling to understand and address errors in queries proactively. We've built a new framework to alert on any problems with queries in deployed apps.

  • We overhauled the dbt configuration workflow enabling more flexibility and clearer mapping to all the complexity you may have in your dbt setup.

  • Lots of vis

    • Final touches on trellis charts - label controls, independent axes, and some tuned up config.

    • Now heatmaps and boxplots are unlockable in Vega Lite for any long tail customization.

    • Quickie, but added a control to turn on and off infinite map scroll on flat maps can have infinite scroll or a single-globe flat view.

    • Few improvements to the pie label experience.

    • Turns out using HTML in our KPI tiles isn't friendly with every character. Now ampersands and other HTML work the way they should in text boxes.

  • And of course more AI

    • Another big batch of improvements for the AI chat experience. Now you can ask Blobby about all the data available for AI query and get an overview of one or all of the topics. Second, we enabled Blobby to jump dynamically between topics in a session, no more topic selecting required. Finally, we improved the drill down experience for faster follow up in the workbook.

    • Little bit of tune up to our MCP to better structure query calls.

    • A tune up to the experience adding new charts to a dashboard. We also added a no-nonsense doc on how to make AI queries work great: https://community.omni.co/t/improving-ai-answer-quality-a-practical-guide/35

Dashboard Error Event Framework

When Omni is the core product, like in many embedded use cases, developers need clear tooling to understand and address errors in queries proactively. We've built a new framework to alert on any problems with queries in deployed apps.
