How email scheduling works
Scheduled emails deliver a download link for a report or dashboard on a regular basis. You can include other recipients by entering individual email addresses or group email aliases, but they must first be registered as users or email contacts.
Limits of scheduled email
- Currently, a report or dashboard can only have one email schedule.
- The link sent by email to users to download the report or dashboard requires authentication (i.e. it’s not a shareable link) and expires after 31 days.
- The download link sent via email doesn’t require authentication (i.e. it’s a shareable link) and expires after 7 days.
- For privacy reasons, only Merchant Center users and email contacts can be selected as recipients. If you don’t see an email address you want to send a report to, you can add it as an email contact by first going to "Settings", then "Account access".
- The email schedule is based on your account’s timezone. You can change it by going to "Settings", then "Account Settings", then "Time zone and language".
