Report Automation

From one template to thousands of reports — generated, filtered, and delivered automatically.

Replace fragile scripts, outgrown report bursting tools, and manual processes with a platform built for report production at scale.

Scenarios

Every reporting workflow, one platform

Distribute filtered reports to different recipients

Your team produces a report, then manually splits it — by region, by client, by department — and emails each piece to the right person. This is what legacy tools call report bursting. ConnectReport does it automatically: one template, dynamic filters, personalized delivery.

Generate reports in bulk to a shared destination

You need the same report produced for every entity — 50 regions, 200 clients, 12 months — and dropped into a folder structure. ConnectReport loops through your data and delivers each version to OneDrive, email, or both.

Produce compliance or regulatory reports on schedule

Certain reports need to be generated on a strict cadence and filed. No distribution needed — just reliable, auditable production. ConnectReport schedules, generates, and archives with full execution history.

Personalize every detail per recipient

Each recipient gets a different report title, email subject, email body, and delivery destination — all driven by a data table. No manual customization, no per-recipient scripts.

How It Works

Built for every reporting pattern

Design templates in the Excel add-in, or let AI configure them through natural language — then automate everything below.

Three ways to structure report output

Choose how output is organized based on your reporting needs.

  • Workbook loops — generate a separate file per entity (e.g., one Excel file per client)
  • Worksheet loops — generate a separate sheet per entity (e.g., one sheet per region in a single workbook)
  • Area loops — repeat a section within a single worksheet (e.g., a table per department on one sheet)

Nested loops supported — loop within a loop for multi-dimensional reports.

Split output by any dimension in your data

Single-field or multi-field filtering. Each unique combination generates a separate filtered report. Exclusion rules let you skip values you don't need.

A data table drives who gets what

Map columns to email address, email subject, email body, OneDrive folder, tags, and group sharing. A boolean column controls send/don't-send per row for conditional delivery.

Run once or on any recurring cadence

Run immediately, schedule for a specific date, or set a recurring cadence: daily, weekly, monthly, annually. Interval multipliers (every 2 weeks, every 3 months) with start and end dates.

Email, OneDrive, or both

Email with full personalization — subject, body, and recipients driven by your data. OneDrive folder delivery. Group-based and individual sharing. All configurable per report task.

Full execution history for every report task

Every report task tracks execution status: running, success, failure, partial failure. See next-run timing and monitor your entire reporting operation from one dashboard.

CapabilityHow ConnectReport handles it
Filter-based report splittingPick a dimension in your data. ConnectReport generates a filtered version of your report for every value — regions, clients, departments, whatever your data contains. This is report bursting at its core. Add exclusion rules to skip values you don’t need.
Per-recipient deliveryPoint to a table with email addresses and ConnectReport handles the rest. Each person gets their slice. No distribution list maintenance, no manual sends.
Multiple output structuresChoose how output is structured: sections repeating on one sheet, a separate sheet per entity, or a separate workbook per entity. Nest levels for multi-dimensional breakdowns like region → store → department.
Recurring schedulesSet a cadence and walk away. Daily, weekly, every two months, annually — with start and end dates. ConnectReport runs it on time, every time.
Multi-source dataA single report template can pull from Snowflake, BigQuery, Power BI, Qlik, Databricks, and others. No stitching outputs together after the fact.
Formatted Excel outputReports come out as real Excel files — multi-sheet layouts, preserved formatting, groupings, professional quality. Not flattened data dumps or PDF screenshots.
Email delivery with customizationSubject line, body text, and send/don’t-send logic can all come from your data. Each recipient can get a different email without any manual work.
File-based deliveryDrop generated reports into OneDrive folders, share with groups, or deliver to individuals — configured once, runs automatically.
Execution visibilitySee what’s running, what succeeded, what failed, and when the next run happens. Across every report task, in one place.
No-code configurationThe people who understand the report — finance, ops, analytics — build and update templates directly in Excel. No tickets, no dev cycles.
Conditional logicA flag in your data controls whether a report is sent or skipped for each recipient. Exclusion rules filter out specific values from any dimension.
Audit trailEvery execution is logged with full history. Pair this with SOC 2 Type II compliance and role-based access control for enterprise governance.
