SFDC Report through Email

Hi,

 

I have a requirement to send my SFDC Reports/Dashboards through email.

Preferably reports/dashboards should be in email body itself.

 

For sending emails, I have my own web service, which sends the email.

 

Seeking for some ideas, how to do it.

 

Thanks in advance.

You can do this through scheduled reports/dashboards without needing to write apex code.

Hmm. This starts to get tricky then.  Theoretically you can pull down the contents of a report/dashboard using getContent for the page in question, but you won't be able to use that in scheduled/batch apex.  I'd imagine that some of the page would contain references to resources that would require a login also.  

 

If it were me, I'd look at using an external solution - something like selenium executed on a timed basis, but I'd imagine you'd still hit problems trying to capture the entire contents of the page for inclusion in an email.
