Template Builder — fail fast with a clear message for slow External Proxy reports
August 31st, 2026
Template Builder now fails fast when data from an external source is too slow to load in the live preview. Previously, a slow provider (such as Amazon Sponsored Television) could leave the preview spinning for minutes before showing a generic timeout. Now, within seconds, the editor shows a clear message: the data is taking longer to retrieve than the live preview can wait, and to get it, you can run a report using the template or create a dashboard from it so the system collects and stores the data — after which it appears in the preview. No setup or configuration is required, and this applies to any slow external data source, not just one provider.
