If you regularly need to send the same look, you can set up a schedule to send it automatically, rather than having to send it manually each time.

You can schedule sending looks the following ways:

The sections below describe how to set up a schedule to send your looks using each of those methods. If you just want to send your look just once, see Send a look.

Schedule sending via email

To schedule sending a look via email:

  1. Open the look you want to create a schedule for. To learn how, see View looks.

  2. Click the gear icon:

  3. In the drop-down menu, select Schedule:

  4. (Optional) To change the name for this schedule, edit the default one provided in the Give your schedule a name field.

  5. In the Where should this data go? section, select Email.

  6. In the Who should it be emailed to? section, enter the email addresses you want to send the look to. If you want to send the look to multiple addresses, separate them with commas.

  7. (Optional) To include a custom message in your email, select the Include a custom message checkbox and enter your message in the field provided.

  8. In the Format data as section, select the file type you want to send.

  9. In the Trigger section, verify that Repeating interval is selected.

  10. In the Deliver this schedule section, specify how often you want to send the look:

    • To send the look on certain days, select Daily, and then specify which days and at what time you want to send it:

    • To send the look by the hour, select Hourly. Then, you can specify the number of hours between each email, and the time range during which they are sent:

      hourly.png

    • To send the look multiple times per hour, select By minute. Then, you can specify the number of minutes between each email, and the time range during which they are sent:

      by_min.png

  11. (Optional) If your look contains filters, use the Filters section to select the ones you want to apply to the file. For example, you could filter the file so that it only contains data for a single site.
