Zap Report Scheduler App can Schedule Dynamics 365 Views / Reports / Excel Templates to be received in email inline or as attachment OR saved to SharePoint OR saved to Notes!

Besides Scheduling, you could also use WORKFLOWS / FLOWS to:

  • Generate PDF/Excel of the Report automatically based on Trigger:
    (Example Scenario: Emailing PDF copy of the invoice report to Customer when invoice changes to Paid status!) (for details, refer blog link)
  • Generate PDF/Word Document from multiple Word Templates and send it in single email!

Additionally, the app also provides a 1-Click Export functionality that allows you to export a report to PDF and attach in email… all in just 1-Click (from any entity form) (For details, refer blog)

In this blog, we will go through the “View Scheduling” feature of Zap Report Scheduler App

We have found that many of PowerApps / Dynamics 365 Users are more comfortable in using Views than Reports. This is because Views can be easily created or modified in few clicks…using the “Advanced Find” feature!
Also this requires no additional support from your IT Support team…any user can achieve this in few clicks!!!

Lets consider a scenario where you need to send the “Opportunity Nearing Close Date” Report to your Sales Team on weekly basis…with each sales user receiving information for only their opportunities

Step 1: Create the Opportunity View with filter for “Est. Close date in Next 7 days” and “Owner Equals Current User”

Step 2: Configure Report Scheduler record: => Select Entity & View => Create Recurring Schedule => Select the Users who need to receive this report on weekly basis.

Outcome: Report received in email – Inline / Attachment based on settings
