Is there a way to modify PDF Email schedule using Quicksight API?

Q&A

I have a dashboard with more than 5 PDF tabs which need to generate and send PDF reports to a target email list.
Since quicksight has a limitation of having only 5 schedules per dashboard, I’m wondering if there is a way to have just 1 schedule in the dashboard and programmatically change the Content to loop over the tabs and trigger the scheduler to send PDF for all tabs?

Hi @Ankit.Singh,
That type of functionality is not available to setup via normal email scheduling. The only way to currently achieve something along these lines would be through utilizing pixel-perfect reports.

I was looking for an API that would let me “edit” a schedule on PDF dashboard, but I guess even that is not supported currently, is it?

Hi @Ankit.Singh,
You could try the start-dashboard-snapshot-job-schedule API.
If that does not work for your case, then let me know and I can mark this as a feature request.

Thank you!

I saw this, but this only triggers the existing scheduler for an ad-hoc run, this doesn’t let me modify the existing scheduler or create new schedulers. I think this feature would be very useful to a lot of people.

Hi @Ankit.Singh,
I will mark this as a feature request to promote visibility to the support team.

Thank you!

Hi @Ankit.Singh,
While I’ve marked this as a feature request, I wanted to check and see if you had any additional questions prior to me closing out the topic?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out.

Thank you!
