Configure Daily Report

Set up daily cost reports delivered via Slack or email. Configure when reports are sent, which days, and what they include.

Before you start

You need to be an admin or owner of your StackSpend organisation.
At least one provider should be connected so there is cost data to report.

Step 1

Navigate to Daily Report settings

Go to Settings → Daily Report in your StackSpend dashboard. This is where you configure all report delivery settings.

Step 2

Choose delivery channels

Enable one or both delivery channels:

Slack
Connect Slack to receive reports in a channel. See Connecting Slack for setup instructions.
Email
Add email addresses to receive reports via email. You can add multiple recipients.

Step 3

Set delivery time

Choose when reports should be sent each day. Default is 9:00 AM in your organisation's timezone.

Tip: Set delivery time to match when your team starts their day. Morning reports help teams stay aware of spending trends.

Step 4

Choose delivery days

Select which days reports should be sent:

Weekdays only — Monday through Friday
Every day — Including weekends
Custom — Select specific days of the week

What you'll receive

Each daily report includes:

Status indicator — green (on track), amber (attention), or red (action needed) based on your budget thresholds.
Total spend — yesterday's cost across all connected providers.
Change from previous day — how yesterday compares to the day before.
Top cost drivers — the services contributing most to spend.
Link to dashboard — quick access to detailed cost breakdowns (email reports only).

Test your configuration

After configuring your daily report settings, use the Send Test button to verify everything works correctly. A sample report will be sent to your configured channels.
