# Charts Overview

> Build live charts from your synced Finta data and embed them anywhere — starting with Notion.

Charts turn the financial data Finta syncs into your destination into live, embeddable visualizations. Build a chart once, then drop it into a Notion page (or anywhere that supports embeds) and it stays up to date automatically.

<Note>
  Charts are currently available for **Notion** destinations. Each chart reads
  directly from one of the databases Finta syncs to your Notion workspace.

## How charts work

A chart is defined by three things:

1. **A source database** — one of the Notion databases Finta syncs (for example, your **Transactions** database).
2. **A configuration** — the chart type and which fields to measure and group by.
3. **An optional filter** — narrow the data down to exactly what you want to show (for example, a single account or category).

When you create a chart, Finta gives you a public embed link. That link renders the chart from your live data and refreshes on its own, so the people viewing it always see current numbers without you exporting or pasting anything.

## Chart types

  <Card title="Metric" icon="hashtag">
    A single headline number, with an optional comparison to the previous period.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Bar" icon="chart-column">
    Compare a value across categories or over time, grouped or stacked.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Line" icon="chart-line">
    Track one or more series over time.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Donut" icon="chart-pie">

</CardGroup>

See [Chart types](/charts/chart-types) for how to configure each one.

## Where to find charts

Open a Notion destination from your [Finta dashboard](https://app.finta.io) and select **Charts** in the sidebar. From there you can create, edit, copy embed links for, and delete charts.
