Send Retool App Dashboard as a daily automated PDF?

App Building

Hello,
I have built a report dashboard as a retool app that i would like to be sent to senior management as a pdf every morning without having to log on and manually send myself

I have followed the steps from the post
Sending an app as a PDF with Retool Workflows - Quick Demo - Retool Tips & Tricks - Retool Forum
but i can't find a way to setup my app's queries to run at a certain time each morning ?

Is there a possible workaround here ?
I have built multiple dashboards as retool apps that i was hoping to send out as pdfs without any manual triggers.
Thanks!

Hi there! Unfortunately there's no way to capture a screenshot of your app or pdf download systematically and email it on a schedule without user intervention. You can, however, reuse your queries that you wrote in your app in a workflow to send a data summary or even generate charts that you then send in an email on a schedule -- see this blog post for an example. Hope this helps!
