Scheduled screenshots, dbt Docs, Notion link previews, and full-width editing

We have some gems for you today: screenshots in scheduled emails, dbt Docs, a beautiful new Notion integration, and full-screen editing mode.

πŸ–ΌοΈ Screenshots in scheduled emails​

Scheduled runs in Hex now have a new option: to include screenshots of the app right in the email! We also gave the scheduled run dialog a bit of a makeover πŸ’….

Note: screenshots can only be sent to people and groups with App User permission or above on an app.

πŸ“‘ dbt Docs in schema browser​

Our dbt integration just got way better! Now we show all the documentation from your dbt project right in your schema browser, including column descriptions and column-level test information. They even support markdown!

In case you missed it, we shipped an awesome improvement to our Notion embeds: Link Previews! You can paste the link to a published app into any Notion doc, as a mention (one-line link) or preview (full interactive embed). Check it out:

You can read more about it on Notion’s blog here.

↔️ Full-width editing mode​

You can now toggle a full-width editing mode! This is great for those of you with r e a l l y w i d e monitors.

Other improvements​

  • The "upper left" logo will link to Hex home for apps with custom logos.
  • You can also now enable Dark mode from the command palette:

Bugs squashed​

  • We made a bunch of fixes to our dbt integration under the hood.
  • Dark mode had some lingering light elements - now appropriately dimmed.
