Distribute reports by email

Overview​

When the task is running, you can send an email to users to distribute reports or notify them.

Email distribution

To configure the email that will be sent to users at the end of reports generation, follow the steps below:

  1. On the Tasks page, click on the name of a task to edit it.

  2. Go to the tab Distribution> Email.

  3. Check the checkbox Send email.

  4. Enter the sender's email address in the From field.

    caution

    If you want to update the sender's email address for a task, ensure that your SMTP server accepts sending emails with this address.

  5. In the CC field, you can add the users' email addresses in a copy of the email (optional). Separate email addresses with a comma.

  6. You can add the users' email addresses in the BCC field who will be in a hidden copy of the email (optional). Separate email addresses with a comma.

    Cc and Bcc email addresses can be in a Qlik Sense variable, which contains one or multiple addresses separated by a comma.

  7. By default, Qalyptus sends a separate email to each task recipient. Check the One email to all recipients option to send one email to all the task recipients.

  8. Enter a subject for the email in the Subject field.

  9. In the Message field, enter the message for the email. In addition to the text, you can add:

  • HTML reports: You can embed HTML reports directly in the body of the email. In the message editor, click on the “Reports” button and select the report to embed. The name of the report can also be added to the subject of the email. Before using the HTML report, you need to add it to the task reports list. Learn more below.
  • Qlik Sense and QlikView variables: In the message editor, click on the “Variables” button to add variables to the message. Variables can also be used in the subject line of the email.
  • Tags: Start writing # to add tags. The available tags are the user's first name, last name, full name and email, the list of reports, and the destination list.
  • Images: Click the image button to insert an image into the message.
