Hi @Experts
I have a use case where I need to send a PDF of my dashboard to external users on an hourly and daily basis, and I would like to automate this process. Though I am aware of the API (start_dashboard_snapshot_job).
I am using the enterprise version of QuickSight, but I do not want to enable paginated reports due to cost limitations.
Is there any solution to automate sending dashboards to external users using SES and a Lambda function?
Hi @KhushalG and welcome to the QuickSight community!
Pixel-Perfect reports (or paginated reports) would of course be the most direct way to do this. However, if looking to avoid additional costs, the only other viable option to export pdfs would be through sending email reports, though there are limitations with them.
If the demand is to receive information that often, embedding an anonymous version of your dashboard may be the best option as there are no other pdf exporting options other than pixel perfect reports and scheduling emails.
Hi @Brett,
Thank you for your response.
I am looking for a no-cost solution or any open-source tool that may assist. While I can embed a dashboard, I would need to refresh the link repeatedly to provide the latest hourly report. Additionally, I would require a dynamic page, as a static one will not be suitable.
Is there any other solution that could potentially help?
Hi @KhushalG,
Unfortunately, there are currently no other options to achieve a pdf export from a no-cost perspective.
I’ll mark this as a feature request for the support team.
Hi @Brett Thank you for replying and yes it will be a great feature.
