Schedule sharing your Custom Report externally

Easily schedule the sharing of your Fin reports with anyone - no login needed.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Automatically send time-based snapshots of your reports to key stakeholders via email. You can send reports to Fin teammates or external email addresses. Recipients will receive a single public link that displays your key metrics and charts.

Note: Links are active for 30 days and then automatically expire.


How to schedule external report sharing

When you want to schedule your Custom Report to be shared with external stakeholders regularly:

  1. Click Share at the top right.

  2. From the dropdown menu, select Schedule delivery.

Add your recipients

Here you can share this report with internal and external stakeholders by adding them to the "Recipient(s)" field.

You can add recipients using a few methods:

  • An email address

  • Their teammate profile

  • Roles (Full Access or View Only)

Name your schedule

Give your schedule a clear name so you can easily identify it, and make changes later on.

Add a message (optional)

Send an optional message with your scheduled report so your stakeholders have some context on the report being shared.

Set the schedule frequency

Choose a frequency:

  • Daily: report sends every day.

  • Weekly: pick one or more weekdays (e.g., Monday, Thursday).

  • Monthly: pick a day of the month (e.g., 1, 15, or “Last day”).

  • Custom: select specific days of the week or specific dates of the month.

For the selected frequency, set the time of day the report should be sent.

In the side drawer, you'll also see the most recent schedules that were created for that report so you can edit/delete schedules.


How to manage your report schedules

To manage Custom Report schedules you've created:

  1. Click Share at the top right.

  2. From the dropdown menu, select Schedule delivery.

At the bottom of the side drawer, you'll see a list of all schedules you've created for this report. Click the 3 dot menu next to a schedule to edit or delete it.

  • Edit opens a side drawer where you can update all of the schedule details. Apply your changes and then click Save changes.

  • Delete opens a modal confirming your intent. Once deleted, this schedule will no longer run (no snapshots will be generated for this schedule and no emails will be sent to recipients).


What stakeholders see

Recipients and the report owner will receive emails according to the frequency you set, detailing the schedule title, name of owner, a message (if provided by schedule owner) and a link to the freshly generated report.

Anyone with the link can view your shared report. The interface looks identical to your report in Fin, but filters and time ranges are read-only and can't be edited.

Note:

  • Data freshness: Snapshots reflect your report at the moment of sharing and are not updated in real time.

  • Visual differences: Some colors or tooltip formats may not align exactly with the report in Fin.

  • Label inconsistencies: Labels such as Unknown, Unassigned, or No rating may appear as Unknown in shared snapshots.

  • Link expiry: All links automatically expire 30 days after creation.

  • Recipients: Can click on the relevant email link to unsubscribe to schedules if needed.
