Automatic email sending from my Report

[pbi1908]

Hi everyone, 

I have a report with a table of duplicated values and i want to send this list to some users by mail. 

First that i did i created an alert in PBI Dashboard and then i added a button to send the mail through power automate. 

But i want either the user when he received the mail to go directly to the report (not the dashboard) since from there he can't press the button to send the mail, or the mail to send automatically every morning a standard time so the button to be clicked automatically every morning at 09:00 let's say. 

Is that possible ?

Thank you.

Hi. What is the idea behind the email? do you want to show that a value is reaching a limit or do you just want to send an email saying "the report is up to date"?

The first one would be an alert and the second one would be a Subscription.

Alerts work only for dashboards. Remember that dashboards are built by many reports, that's why it will redirect there. Then the user can click any tile to go to the report.

Subscriptions work for report pages or dashboards. They can be activated right after the first refresh of the day. That's usually a most wanted feature.

I hope that hleps,
