Overview

Reports enable you to automatically generate and send snapshots of your Intelligent Apps on a schedule. Reports are rendered as PDF or PNG files and delivered through configured Channels via Slack or email.

​
Key Features

  • Scheduled Delivery: Use cron expressions to define when reports run (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
  • Multiple Formats: Export as PDF (multi-page) or PNG (single image)
  • Channel Integration: Send via Slack or email through configured channels
  • Flexible Targeting: Send the same report to different destinations
  • Manual Triggers: Test reports or send on-demand outside the schedule

​
How Reports Work

  1. Create a Channel: Set up Slack or email credentials (done once, reused for multiple reports)
  2. Configure a Report: Select an Intelligent App, set a schedule, choose a format, and specify recipients
  3. Automatic Execution: Datazone renders the app and sends it via your channel at the scheduled time
  4. Track History: Review execution logs to monitor delivery status and timing
