# Email reports

> Receiving analytics via scheduled email reports.

**Email Reports** (`/analytics/email-report`) sets up **recurring** scan-analytics reports delivered automatically by email (or Slack) on a schedule you define — daily, weekly, or monthly. This is different from [Reports](/analytics/reports), which generates a single, one-off report on demand. Use Email Reports when you want a standing digest; use Reports when you want a specific export right now.

<Note>
  Email Reports is only shown in the sidebar for accounts with export permission (Pro plans and above). Each account can create up to 5 email reports.

## Setting up a scheduled report

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the setup drawer">
    From **Analytics > Email Reports**, select **Setup Email Reports**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the report">
    Enter a name in **Report Name** (up to 100 characters) so you can identify it later in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose which QR codes it covers">
    Under **Select QR Codes**, choose **Top 5 Performing QR Codes**, **Top 10 Performing QR Codes**, or **Custom** to pick specific codes yourself. Optionally check **Exclude Bot Traffic** to filter out non-human scans.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a notification channel">
    Under **Choose Notification Channels**, select **Email Notification**, **Slack Notifications**, or **Both Email & Slack**. Selecting a Slack-based option checks your workspace's Slack connection status before you can proceed — connect Slack under Integrations first if you plan to use it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add recipients">
    Under **Recipients**, enter at least one email address in the **To** field. Select **Cc** or **Bcc** to reveal additional recipient fields if you need to loop in more people without them being primary recipients.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the frequency">
    Under **Choose Email Frequency**, choose **Daily**, **Once a week**, or **Once a month**. A helper line below confirms the cadence in plain language (for example, "You will receive the email report every 7 days" for weekly).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the report">
    Select **Create Report**. A confirmation toast appears, and the new schedule is added to the list on the Email Reports page.

    <Check>
      After creating a report, reload the page if the list doesn't immediately show your new entry — during verification the list stayed on its empty state until a full page refresh, even though the report had been created successfully in the background.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing existing schedules

The Email Reports table lists each schedule's name, QR code selection, recipient count, frequency, and creator. Use the **Action** column to edit a schedule (pencil icon) or delete it (trash icon) — deleting prompts a confirmation dialog before removing it.
