Scheduled Reports

Automated report generation:

# openclaw-reports.yml
reports:
  - name: weekly-engineering
    schedule: "0 9 * * MON"  # Monday 9 AM
    template: engineering-summary
    recipients: [engineering@company.com]
    format: pdf

  - name: monthly-executive
    schedule: "0 8 1 * *"    # 1st of month, 8 AM
    template: executive-summary
    recipients: [cto@company.com, cfo@company.com]
    format: pdf

  - name: daily-compliance
    schedule: "0 7 * * *"    # Daily 7 AM
    template: compliance-check

    format: pdf

Dashboard Sharing

  • Public links — Password-protected for external stakeholders
  • Embedded dashboards — iFrame integration in internal portals
  • Slack integration — Auto-post dashboard screenshots to channels

Best Practice: Create a separate dashboard for each audience. Engineers need technical depth, management needs KPIs and trends. One dashboard for everyone means nobody uses it.
