Install Wallabi from the Google Chrome Marketplace

Wallabi for Chrome is a browser extension that follows you wherever you go and works in the background when you don't need it.

Navigate to the Wallabi listing on the Chrome web store, which you can find here. Select "Add to Chrome."

Then select "Add extension."

πŸ€” Wait... why do you need my browser history? Some Wallabi features require access to your current URL and tab name. We do not store or save this information.

Pin the Browser Extension

Once the extension is installed, click the puzzle icon in the top-right of your browser, then pin the Wallabi extension. This allows you to quickly and easily access the sidebar wherever you need it.

Enable App Notifications in your OS

Wallabi will occasionally notify you when you have new insights in your feed. To receive these notifications, ensure you have app notifications enabled in your Mac or Windows operating system settings.

For Mac instructions, see here.

For Windows, see here.

Sign Up and Start Your Trial

Wallabi offers a 14-day free trial to all new users. Initiate the trial by selecting "Sign up" during onboarding.

Wallabi accepts two authentication methods: Google and Microsoft OAuth. If you would like additional authentication methods or to extend your trial, please contact support@wallabi.ai.

Onboard and Personalize Wallabi

Wallabi tailors its analysis to your function, role, and business context. During onboarding, you have the opportunity to tell Wallabi about yourself so that its insights are personalized to you. Don't worry - you always have the opportunity to adjust these settings later!

You may also select goals to guide Wallabi's analysis. When Wallabi generates questions on your behalf, it will run analyses relevant to these goals. Select from the pre-populated list or add your own goals by selecting the "+ New" button.

Connect to Data

Select "Add data" at the bottom of your list of data sources, then select the data source you want to connect.

You will then be guided through a specific workflow for each connector you select. Wallabi uses a third-party vendor called Fivetran to manage the extraction and loading of data into the Wallabi analytical cloud data warehouse. You are not charged for these costs. For additional details on the Fivetran integration, see their connector documentation or security policies.

If you need additional connectors not in this primary list, select "Other" from the drop-down menu, then search for the connector you are looking for. To request a connect, Select "Request Connector" from this model or contact the team at support@wallabi.ai.

We prioritize our connector roadmap based on user and customer requests; it typically takes 3-5 business days for us to build a new connector.

At this point, Wallabi will extract, clean, and model your data for analysis. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on the source system and your data volume. Sit back and grab a cup of coffee. Wallabi will alert you when you can start asking questions.

Get Insights

Wallabi will automatically generate insights for you. You don't need to do anything! Wallabi will alert you via browser notification when insights are ready; this also means you can start asking questions of this data source.

To view generated insights, navigate to your insight feed. All auto-generated insights will have the "Wallabi" name at the top of the card:

Ask Questions

You can ask questions once Wallabi has extracted, cleaned, and modeled your data for analysis. Select "Ask Wallabi a new question" at the bottom of the sidebar or hit the "Surprise me!" button:

Then, type your question into the pop-up. Wallabi will make an educated guess at the best data source to use for this question, but you can also manually select from your list of data sources.

And that's it! You're using Wallabi like a pro.
