The automated distribution of reports and dashboards from Microsoft’s Power BI platform via electronic mail is a key feature for disseminating business intelligence. This functionality allows users to receive scheduled snapshots of data visualizations directly in their inboxes. For example, a sales manager could receive a daily email containing a summary of the previous day’s sales performance, automatically generated from a Power BI report.
The availability of this feature ensures timely information delivery, fostering data-driven decision-making across an organization. It reduces the need for users to actively log into Power BI, thereby increasing accessibility and promoting wider consumption of insights. Its introduction marked a significant enhancement to the Power BI service, simplifying the process of sharing critical business metrics and enabling proactive monitoring of key performance indicators.
