How to Schedule Automatic Emails for Reports
In this article, we’ll guide you through scheduling an automatic email to receive a report on a regular basis.
For this example, we’ll schedule a Sales Report, but the same steps apply to any report.
Steps to Schedule a Report:
1. Open the Desired Report
- Navigate to the report you wish to email regularly.
- Click the EMAIL button.
2. Set the Email Frequency
A pop-up will appear asking how often you’d like to receive the email:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
Select your preferred option.
3. Specify the Email Time
- Choose the time when the email should be sent.
- We recommend scheduling it after your store closes.
Example:
- If you schedule a daily report for 12:00 PM, it will only include sales made before 12:00 PM that day. The next day’s report will exclude sales after 12:00 PM from the previous day
- To ensure you capture all sales for a day, schedule the email for 11:59 PM, as 12:00 AM marks the start of a new day in sales reporting.
4. Set the Start Date
- Define the start date for the report emails.
- We recommend not using today’s date to ensure complete data in the first report.
5. Enter Recipient Email Addresses
- Specify the email address(es) to receive the report.
- For multiple recipients, separate email addresses with commas:
