What is Report Automation?
Report Automation is a data-to-deliverable reporting system: connect your databases and business systems, auto-generate business reports (daily/weekly/monthly) on schedule and deliver them to the right people — no more manual data pulling, charting and summarizing. Many teams spend hours each week in Excel pulling numbers, drawing charts and writing analysis. Report Automation turns those steps into scheduled jobs: data fetched automatically, metrics computed, charts generated, anomalies flagged, AI-assisted summaries drafted, delivered punctually to email, WeCom or DingTalk. For operations, sales and management needing regular reports, and agencies delivering periodic data reports to clients.
How to use Report Automation
- Connect data: databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL/ClickHouse etc.), business system APIs or Excel/CSV files.
- Define templates: configure metric definitions, chart types and dimensions in the template editor.
- Set schedule and recipients: daily/weekly/monthly runs pushed to email/WeCom/DingTalk.
- First-run review: check metric definitions and chart presentation, tune the template.
- Run automatically: subsequent reports generate on schedule with anomalies auto-flagged.
