Convex connector

Use your Convex data for reporting, automation and AI.

Data Panda brings the Convex project behind your application together with the data from the rest of your business. From one place, we turn it into dashboards, automations, AI workflows and custom apps your team uses every day.

About Convex

A reactive serverless backend with a document database, storage and vector search built in.

Convex is a backend platform that gives every app a reactive document database, server functions written in TypeScript, file storage, scheduled jobs and vector search behind one API. The team launched it in 2021 in San Francisco and the founders come out of Dropbox, where they ran the storage and database groups.

For a Data Panda customer the interesting data is the project itself: the tables you defined in your schema, the documents your queries and mutations read and write, the file metadata next to your blobs, and the scheduled-job records that say what fired and when. The system fields _id and _creationTime on every document make it straightforward to land that data in a warehouse and join it to the rest of your stack.

Convex is popular with teams shipping AI apps and agentic products on top of Replit and similar AI app builders, where the reactive sync and vector search land naturally next to LLM workflows. That same data is worth more in a warehouse for everything that is not a live user request.

What your Convex data is for

What you get once Convex is connected.

Product and account reporting

Documents, file metadata and scheduled-job activity joined in one place.

  • Signups and activations from your users table joined to feature usage
  • File-storage metadata per account, per bucket equivalent, per content type
  • Custom metrics from your project schema next to CRM and billing

App-event automation

Let document changes inside your Convex project fire actions across the rest of the stack.

  • A new user document triggers a CRM contact with the right plan
  • A subscription-state mutation pushes into Stripe and the warehouse
  • A scheduled-job failure triggers an alert in the right channel

AI workflows on app data

Score, classify and generate on the operational data you already capture.

  • Churn scoring on real product-usage signals from your document tables
  • Embeddings and search on free-text fields from across your project
  • Anomaly detection on scheduled-job and action invocation patterns

Internal apps on your data

Tools for support, finance and ops that read across your project without hitting the live backend.

  • CS lookups with full user, plan and file history on one screen
  • Finance views tying users to Stripe and accounting
  • Product cohort analysis across releases and feature flags
Use cases

Use cases we deliver with Convex data.

A list of concrete reports, automations and AI features we have built on Convex data. Pick the one that matches your situation.

Signup-to-active funnelFrom the first user document to first meaningful action in the app, by source.
Feature adoptionUsage of each key feature per plan and per cohort.
File-storage reportingObject size and growth per tenant, per content type, over time.
Multi-tenant usagePer-tenant activity, revenue and support load on one record.
Scheduled-job healthRun volume, duration and failure rate per cron job and per release.
Action invocation activityWhich actions called which third parties, how often, with what error rate.
Vector-index activityEmbedding-table growth and query patterns for AI features.
Schema-change trackingWhich fields in your tables changed, when, and what broke downstream.
Agent-run historyEach agentic run linked to user, prompt, tools called and outcome.
Reporting off live backendReports running on the warehouse instead of pinging your reactive queries in production.
Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Who signed up this month and which of them used the product?

Your users table joined to the document tables that record real activity, broken down by source, plan and cohort. Marketing sees which channels brought activated users and which brought ghosts, on the same numbers product is looking at.

What is each tenant costing us in Convex right now?

File-storage size, action invocation volume and scheduled-job runtime aggregated per tenant, against the plan they pay for. Finance and product see who is loss-making before the next price review, not after.

Which dashboards will break the next time we change the schema?

A change log on your Convex schema linked to the dashboards, automations and AI workflows that read each field. The next deploy stops being a surprise for reporting because the impact is visible before it ships.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

File-storage, action-invocation and scheduled-job usage per tenant lined up against the plan they pay for, joined to Stripe revenue. The cost of serving each customer becomes visible on the same record as their MRR.

For sales leaders

Auth and product-usage signal on every CRM account, sourced from the Convex project rather than a custom export. Reps see who is on the verge of expanding and who is going quiet, before the renewal call.

For operations

Schema drift, action errors and scheduled-job failures tracked in one place. Reporting stops being collateral damage of the next deploy and becomes part of the release check.

Your existing tools

Your data lands in a warehouse. Your BI tools read from it.

You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your Convex data lives.

Three steps

From Convex to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • Convex connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Which Convex tables come across, and what about the system fields?

Every table in your project schema replicates as a flat table in the warehouse, with the system fields _id and _creationTime preserved on each row. That means joins on document references and time-based queries work the same way they do inside your Convex functions, without having to call a query from outside.

Do you also pull file storage and scheduled-function activity, not just my tables?

Yes. The interesting picture is the join across your document tables, the file-storage metadata Convex keeps next to your blobs, and the scheduled-job and action history. The connector replicates all of that so the warehouse can answer questions about who signed up, what they uploaded, and which background jobs ran on their behalf.
