Add recipients
You’re automatically added as a recipient, but you can remove yourself.

When the subscription emails the refreshed report to each recipient, it sends it to the email address set in Settings | Email | My Email Settings. If no email is set in My Email Settings the refreshed report is sent to the recipient’s email address set on their Salesforce User record.Subscription notifications are typically sent from the email address of the user who created the report subscription. To use an organization-wide email address, in Setup, select Enable Org-Wide Email Address for Report Subscription and select the org-wide email address to use from the dropdown. -
Under Run Report As, specify whose perspective is used
when running the report.
- Me- You run the report, and recipients see the same report data that you see.
- Another Person- Recipients see the same report data as the person you select. The person must have permission to run reports and have access to this report.
Important Recipients see the same report data as the person running the report. It’s possible that they see more or less data than they normally see in Salesforce. -
Optionally, add conditions. The conditions are evaluated when the report is run
according to the schedule you set. The report is emailed only if all conditions
are met. For each condition, select an aggregate measure, an operator, and a
value to match. You can add up to 5 conditions.
- Click Save.
The report subscription starts, and recipients begin receiving report results by email according to the schedule and conditions you set. For considerations, review Reports and Dashboards Limits and Allocations.
