How scheduled email delivery works

Scheduled email delivery sends you an email with a PDF attachment of the report on a regular basis. The email will also contain a preview of the report's first page, and a link to view the complete report. You can include other recipients by entering individual addresses or group email aliases.

Why didn't my report get delivered?

If there is an error in the downloaded report, the email won't send. Make sure the report can be manually downloaded successfully.

Scheduled reports and filters

The PDF version of a report shows the data as displayed according to the report’s default filter and date range properties. Viewer filter control and date range control settings are ignored when generating the PDF.

Using scheduled email to send a report that filters by email address shows the data of the person who created the scheduled email, NOT the recipient's data. To send a report with email filtering turned on, we recommend directly sending a report link instead of using scheduled email.

Limits of scheduled email delivery

• Currently, a report can only have one email schedule.
• You can include up to 50 recipient addresses.
• The person who created the schedule is always included in the recipient list. Additional recipients are optional.
• The email can include up to 5 pages as a preview of the report. The attached PDF includes all selected pages.
• The delivery schedule is based on your operating systems' timezone. You can't change this inside Looker Studio
