Extend the existing email subscription feature to allow me to specify exactly *when* the email is sent out - e.g. send me the email at 2pm every Monday.

More information about the existing feature can be found here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-email-subscriptions-in-power-bi-stay-informed-when-it-matters/

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

Dear Sirui Sun,
I am using Power BI pro to schedule refresh of data set.

Currently I am distributing the dashboard to customer email ids manually.
I want to schedule that email distribution also.

For example, lets say the users need the updated dashboard at 8:00 AM EST everyday.
I that case I will create schedule to update data set at 7:00 AM EST on daily basis (which I know how to do).

And at 8:00 AM EST I want to distribute dashboard to users. Please help me how we can schedule this email distribution automatically on daily basis ?

Thanks,
Samaresh

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

Good suggestion. Daily emails are too frequent for a lot of reports, which will happen because our data updates daily.

'Send on refresh' is really what I'm looking for but I would also like to have the ability to send on request. The ability to add comments would be welcome too.

It will be one of the must have feature. Please include it.

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

I want to receive the email of daily reports at 6am every morning in Japan,
and receive the email of weekly reports at 6am every Monday in Japan,
and receive the email of monthly reports at 6am every 1st day of month in Japan.

I posted another Idea:Mail body, subject and sender

Email subscription Is a great new feature. I suggest the user can add his sender-mailaddress, a subject and text (signature) to the body of the email.

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

I agree, we should have some additional options for scheduling. However, this is a great starting point!

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

Emails should not be irrevocably tied to the refresh schedule. 'Send on refresh' should be an option, but there should other scheduling options.
