Questions about this automation
Where do the usage numbers come from?
They are pulled straight from the product database, a data warehouse or an analytics tool through an API or a saved query. Each report uses the same set of metrics, such as active users, key actions and usage against plan limits, calculated for the past week and compared with the week before.
What does each customer receive?
A short email with the main numbers in the body and a PDF or a link to a live dashboard with the full breakdown. The report carries the customer's own account data only, and it goes to the contacts listed on the account, such as the admin and the main business user.
Can the schedule or the recipients change for some accounts?
Yes. The cadence, the recipients and the metric set are stored per account in a simple table, so one customer can get a monthly report while another gets it weekly. Simple automations like this are usually live within days once the data source and the report template are agreed.
