In the dynamic world of modern business, where every second counts, speed, simplicity, and efficiency are key to staying competitive. Therefore, the ability to swiftly and effortlessly deliver critical data can be a game-changer. One of the ways small and medium-sized businesses can achieve this is through Dataflake's Dashboard Scheduled Delivery feature, a game-changer in the world of data visualization. In this blog post, we'll delve into why Dashboard Scheduled Delivery matters and guide you through the simple steps to schedule and send your dashboard via email.
Traditionally, sending reports or dashboards via email involved time-consuming manual processes. From exporting the dashboard in a pdf file to crafting the email and hitting the send button, these steps often added unnecessary delays to data-driven decision-making. With Dataflake's Dashboard Scheduled Delivery, you can automate this entire process, ensuring that your insights reach your inbox at the speed of business.
When you schedule and send your dashboards via email using Dataflake, they stay up-to-date in real-time. This means that as your data changes, your dashboard automatically updates, all without you having to manually adjust, visualize, export, or compose emails like the traditional way. With Dashboard Scheduled Delivery, you're always ahead of the game, making decisions based on the freshest data without the hassle.
Dataflake goes beyond simplicity by offering advanced customization options. You can add a personal touch with a Custom Message, making your dashboards more engaging and informative. Additionally, you can schedule the start time, end time, and even set up repeat deliveries. This level of customization empowers you to tailor the delivery to suit your specific needs, whether it's a weekly performance report or real-time updates during critical moments.
Dataflake's fast and sleek dashboard delivery process can be broken down into a few simple steps.
However, before you start, make sure that your dashboard is in the view mode. Then, click the Email delivery option
Just like sending an ordinary email, the first step is to specify the recipient(s) of your dashboard. This ensures that your valuable insights reach the right audience. Whether it's your team members, clients, or stakeholders, simply fill in the email addresses of those you want to receive your dashboard.
Dataflake allows you to add a personal touch to your email delivery. You can customize the email subject and message to provide context and make your reports more engaging. This feature ensures that your recipients not only receive data but also understand its significance.
Choose the exact time you want your email delivery to begin. You can specify both the date and time, ensuring that your dashboards land in your recipients' inboxes precisely when you need them to. This feature is particularly useful for coordinating with your team's workflow or accommodating different time zones.
Dataflake offers flexible repetition options to suit your needs. For instance, you can configure your dashboard delivery to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or even create a custom schedule. This means you can send daily performance updates, weekly summaries, or monthly reports, all with just a few clicks.
You have control over when your email delivery stops. Dataflake provides three options:
None: If you choose this option, your dashboard delivery will continue indefinitely based on your repetition settings. This is ideal for ongoing reporting needs.
Date and Time: If you have a specific end date in mind, you can set it here. Dataflake will automatically stop sending your dashboards via email after this date and time.
Count Occurrence: Alternatively, you can set a specific number of occurrences. For example, you might want to send your dashboard 10 times, and after that, it will automatically stop.
Dataflake's Dashboard Scheduled Delivery isn't just about efficiency; it's about unlocking new possibilities for small and medium-sized businesses to make data-driven decisions. Here are some use cases where this feature shines:
For businesses that rely on weekly performance insights, such as sales figures, website analytics, or customer engagement metrics, you just need to set up your dashboards to be delivered every Monday morning, providing your team with up-to-date information to kickstart the week with informed decisions.
In industries where real-time monitoring is crucial, such as e-commerce or financial services, the ability to schedule and repeat dashboard deliveries is invaluable. Receive real-time alerts about stock levels, market fluctuations, or security breaches directly in your inbox, ensuring you can respond swiftly to critical situations.
Agencies and consultants can benefit from Dashboard Scheduled Delivery when providing regular client reports. Customize each email with a personalized message and attach the latest performance dashboards, impressing clients with timely updates and insightful commentary.
Small and medium-sized businesses looking to boost productivity can schedule daily or weekly employee performance dashboards. This not only keeps employees motivated but also provides managers with the data needed to make data-driven decisions about team dynamics and resource allocation.
Marketing teams can set up dashboard deliveries to coincide with the duration of marketing campaigns. Analyze campaign performance daily, weekly, or monthly, and adjust strategies based on the insights received, all with minimal effort.
Dataflake's Dashboard Scheduled Delivery simplifies the process of sending reports and dashboards via email, making it fast, sleek, and efficient.
