Reports
Scheduling reports
Set up a recurring cadence for a report type or custom template and manage an existing schedule.
A schedule ties a report type, or a specific custom report template, to a recurring cadence, so the same report lands on your desk automatically without you having to remember to regenerate it. Click Schedule next to a report group to create one.
The schedule form
Example of the schedule form, set to weekly
- Frequency: Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
- Time: hidden for an hourly schedule, since it just runs every hour.
- Day of week: only shown for a weekly schedule.
- Day of month: only shown for a monthly schedule, from 1 to 28 (so every month has that day).
- Email notification recipients when a new report is generated: on by default.
Emails go to everyone currently listed in the project's Notifications settings. If there are no valid recipients, or the report has no linked project, emails go to the organisation owner and admins. Changes to Notifications apply to existing schedules automatically. Recipient lists previously specified through the API no longer override these settings.
Managing an existing schedule
Once a schedule exists, the report group shows a status badge (its frequency and next run date, or Paused if it's disabled) with a menu to:
- Edit schedule: reopen the form above with the current values filled in.
- Pause or Resume: temporarily stop a schedule from running without deleting it.
- Delete schedule: remove it entirely. This cannot be undone.
Plan requirements
Scheduling needs an eligible plan. On an eligible plan the button reads Schedule, with a calendar icon. If your organisation doesn't qualify, it reads Schedule this report instead, with a padlock and the hint "Regenerates weekly or monthly." underneath. Clicking it opens a dialog explaining that report scheduling requires a Flowboost subscription, with a link to the plan page. A schedule created before a downgrade stays visible and can still be paused or deleted. Only creating a new schedule, or resuming a paused one, requires the plan, so Edit schedule and Resume show the same padlock and open the same dialog.
