Schedule Dashboard Report via Email

Schedule Dashboard Report via Email

Overview 

Schedule Report via Email allows you to automatically deliver a PDF snapshot of your dashboard to selected recipients on a recurring schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly — without any manual effort.

This feature is ideal when you need to:
       Share regular dashboard updates with stakeholders.
       Automate recurring report delivery for CX, NPS, or CSAT dashboards
       Keep teams informed of the latest data trends without requiring them to log in

 

Recipients receive the dashboard as a PDF attachment in their inbox and can view the report without logging into the platform.


How to Access Schedule Report on Dashboard

1.   Open your Dashboard from the Dashboards section.
2. Select the Dashboard     
3. In the dashboard header, click the Share button. A dropdown menu will appear with two options:

     Share to Users — share the dashboard with other platform users

     Schedule Report via Email — set up automated email delivery

4.   Click Schedule Report via Email. The Schedule Report Email window will open.



Idea
You can create multiple schedules (e.g., a daily report for your operations team and a weekly summary for leadership) from the same Schedule Report Email window

Creating a New Schedule Report

To create a new schedule, click the Schedule Report button located in the top-right corner of the Schedule Report Email window. A configuration form will open where you can set up all details.



Configure Basic Details

  1. From Address- The email address from which the report email will be sent. This is typically a verified system address (e.g., feedback@surveysensumuser.com). Contact the SurveySensum team to customize this address.
  2. From Name - The display name that will appear as the sender in the recipient's inbox. 
  3. Send To- Enter one or more recipient email addresses. Type an email address and press Enter to add it. You can add multiple recipients to the same schedule.



Set Schedule & Frequency

  

  1. Schedule- Select the delivery frequency from the dropdown:
    1. Daily — sends the report every day at the specified time.
    2. Weekly — sends on selected days of the week (you can select multiple).
    3. Monthly — sends on a specific day of the month
    4. Quarterly — sends the report once every quarter (every 3 months) on a specified date.
    5. Half Yearly — sends the report twice a year (every 6 months) on a specified date.
    6. Annually— sends the report once a year on a specified date
  1. Time of Day- Set the exact time (hour, minute, AM/PM) when the email should be sent on the scheduled day(s).
  2. Skip Weekends? - Toggle this on if you want to skip delivery on Saturdays and Sundays (available for Daily schedules). When enabled, no report will be sent on weekend days.

Compose the Email


Configure the email content that will be delivered to recipients:
  1. Subject- Enter the subject line for the scheduled email. This is what recipients will see in their inbox before opening the email.
  2. Attachment- The dashboard report is automatically attached as a PDF file. Recipients can open and view the complete dashboard snapshot directly from the attachment.
  3. Email Body- Use the built-in editor to compose the body of the email. The default message includes a greeting and a PDF download link. You can customize the text, add formatting, insert images, or modify the message to match your brand voice.
    1. PDF Attachment – Automatically sends the dashboard snapshot as a PDF file; best for sharing static reports with stakeholders who don’t have platform access.
    2. HTML – Allows you to edit the email in HTML format; useful when you want full control over custom layouts or branded email templates.

Finalizing the Schedule

Once all fields are filled in:

1.    Review all fields — sender details, recipients, frequency, time, data window, and email content.

2.    Click Test Email to verify the email looks correct.

3.    Click Schedule Email to save and activate the schedule.

 

The new schedule will now appear in the Schedule Report Email window list and will run automatically at the configured time.
