Tracking your deals and projects in Insightly is one thing. Seeing what they mean for your business, at a glance, is another.

Klipfolio Klips connects directly to Insightly so your pipeline, contacts, and project data flow into live dashboards automatically — no exports, no manual updates.

Top reasons to use Klipfolio for Insightly dashboards

  • Your pipeline, always current. Klips refresh on a schedule you set — as often as every minute — so your team sees live deal status without anyone pulling a report.

  • One view across your stack. Combine Insightly data with metrics from your marketing, finance, or support tools in a single dashboard. No tab-switching required.

  • Dashboards built for your workflow. Use pre-built Klips to get started fast, or use the Klip Editor's Excel-like formula engine to model your data exactly the way you need it.

  • Share with anyone, your way. Distribute dashboards via TV mode, public links, scheduled PDF emails, or embedded views — with granular permission controls for each audience.

  • No developer required. Basic HTTP Authentication means setup takes minutes, not days. Your API key is all you need.
