Sep 8, 2025 – Salesforce CRM Analytics, BigQuery Sync, MCP Updates, and more

August’s update is all about making your catalog smarter and more connected. We’ve added Salesforce CRM Analytics integration, launched BigQuery description sync, improved both MCP and Chrome Extension Ask AI. These updates make it easier than ever to keep your documentation fresh, discover data faster, and power smoother AI workflows.

✨ What's New

📊 Salesforce CRM Analytics Integration

Salesforce CRM Analytics (CRMA) is now integrated into Select Star. With this release, you can bring your CRMA dashboards and lenses directly into your catalog. This makes it easier to understand how Salesforce analytics content connects to your warehouse models, track ownership, and apply governance.

• Ingest dashboards, lenses, datasets, and recipes from your CRM Analytics environment.

• See lineage from CRM Analytics content back to Salesforce objects and downstream warehouse models.

• Assign ownership, apply governance, and discover unused or stale CRMA assets.

Learn more in our Salesforce CRM Analytics docs.

📝 BigQuery Description Sync

You can now sync descriptions back from Select Star back to BigQuery.

• Any updates or approved propagated descriptions in Select Star can be written directly into BigQuery tables and columns.

• Keeps your data warehouse documentation in sync with the improvements your team makes in Select Star.

• Ensures BI users and analysts always see the latest context, no matter where they look.
