## What is Custom Reports?

Our **Custom Report **gadget enables:

- Integration of data from **REST API-enabled sources**.
- Use of industry standards like JSON and [JSONata](https://jsonata.org/) for data transformation and visualization.
- Powerful customization capabilities for advanced, unified dashboards.

## Who benefits from Custom Reports?

If you have special integration needs, for example, GitHub, GitLab, Zendesk, custom CRM, or ERP systems that you can not satisfy, Custom Reports empowers you to integrate and represent your own data according to your unique needs.

No more creating manual reports using multiple tools, which often result in data fragmentation and constant context-switching. Now, you can centralize all your data from all the tools you use, no matter the source, right into your Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket or monday.com dashboards.
