Hello! I'm embedding a liveboard with Thoughtspot Embed. When adding alerts, I would like to be able to subscribe a group of users at a time by role. For example, all users in the "managers" role. Our role information is handled within our app though, and thoughtspot isn't aware of it currently. How can I go about this?

Are you talking about KPI alerting? If yes. I think you can create a customAction in the viz to do this. It will not be straight forward, since TS does not know about the group and for kpi alerts we do not have a Rest API exposed as of now. For now you can create a url/callback custom action to your app to get the role information, get the relevant IDs in TS through rest APIs and then use TML to create monitor alerts on the underlying vizs.
This might get a bit complicated though. But I think this is the way to go. Custom actions : https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/custom-action-intro
Custom actions
You can add custom buttons or menu items to the ThoughtSpot UI to let your application users to analyze insights and trigger an action on the data.
Yes, KPI alerting. Thanks for the info. I'll take a look on monday. If I'm understanding correctly tho, the alert subscribers in TS would get out of sync as users roles change in our app?
yes
@shikharTS does Thoughtspot support adding thoughtspot groups as subscribers to KPI alerts?
I only see users in the dropdown so I assume no, but wanted to check
No we don't support it right now..
