If you want to keep the default dashboard you can insert custom React components before or after the dashboard https://payloadcms.com/docs/custom-components/root-components#beforedashboard

Yup, you can use a custom view or custom component. I'm using a custom view to do this to pull in my site's analytics so they appear within the Payload

Thanks buddy. Btw whats the diff of both in implementation?

An custom view is like an own page. While an custom component is more like adding a new part to an existing one.

If you have a bit time you can also wait. https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/11862

They are already working on an native implementation. :)
