[GA4] Schedule reports

As an administrator, you can schedule up to 50 standard and custom reports to be sent by email on a regular basis, enabling team members to receive periodic updates about your website or app. The emailed report includes data for the specified date range with any filters or comparisons applied to the report when the email was first scheduled.

Once you schedule a report, you can view and manage the scheduled reports associated with the property, and identify scheduled reports that have errors so you can address them.

Schedule a report

1. In Google Analytics, select Reports on the left.
2. Open the report you want to send as an email.
3. On the top right of the report, click Share this report > Schedule Email.
   Note: If you can't find Schedule Email in the menu, it may mean that you don't have permission to schedule a report. Only administrators can schedule emailed reports.
4. Complete the following fields to schedule the emailed report:

   Field	Description
   Report name	Enter the name of the emailed report. The report name appears in the scheduled email subject line, which has the format "GA4 Scheduled Email: report name". The report name must be unique to the Google Analytics property.
   Description	Enter an internal description for the scheduled report for other users of the Google Analytics property, who may not be aware of what data is included in the emailed report.
   Recipient list	Select up to 50 email addresses to receive the scheduled reports. You can type the email addresses to find them quickly. You can also include Google Marketing Platform groups in the recipient list. You can select any user who has access to the property. You can't select user groups. Users who are removed from the property are also removed from any recipient lists. If a user of your Analytics property has more than one email address associated with the property, and one of those email addresses is an @gmail.com address, the scheduled report will be sent to the Gmail address, regardless of which email address you use in the recipient list.
   Choose date	Choose when you want to send the first email. The date you choose must be between tomorrow and one year from today. Events can take up to 72 hours from when they were sent to be processed by Google Analytics. Reports that are scheduled for the beginning of the month may be missing data for the last 3 days of the previous month. Consider scheduling reports for the 4th day of the month so you include all late hits.
   Frequency	Choose how frequently you want to send the email. You can schedule the email to send each day, week, month, or quarter. For example, if the first email is sent on April 15, and you choose "Monthly", then the next email would be sent on May 15.
   Active for	Select how long the report will be active for, between 1 to 12 months. The default value is 12 months. When the period expires, you can view the original date and modify it to a valid date in Admin. You can check for how long a scheduled email is active by viewing the table on the Scheduled reports page in Admin.
   Report format	Choose the file format for the emailed report, either PDF or CSV. The report is sent as an attachment to the email.
   Language	Choose the language of the report when it's emailed to the recipients.

5. Click Save to schedule the email. You can only save if you've included at least one recipient and selected a valid name, description (if one exists), date range, and frequency. If you applied a filter or comparison before scheduling the report, or changed the date range, the report will contain that configuration when the exported file is generated.

What happens next

Recipients will receive an email on the scheduled dates. Recipients can opt out of the emails by clicking Unsubscribe in the email. If they unsubscribe, they'll be notified in the same email that they successfully unsubscribed. Included in the email is a link where they can resubscribe to the emails.
