Need Help: setting up weekly summary email of collected data

Users
1

Hello,

I am trying to setup a weekly email that will email out a report with only
the data collected as displayed in the "Data >
Export Forms" section of CommCare. However all I can see to do is just
email out weekly updates that monitor the status of workers. However that
is not what I want to send out. I need the data that is collected in the
field sent out on a weekly basis in a spreadsheet format.

How can I setup such a weekly update?

I have looked at the help page here
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Managing+Saved+and+Scheduled+Email+Reports
but it gives me information on emailing out other data types related to
worker activities so it is not useful.

Please help,

Douglas.

Hello, Douglas,

We do not currently support emailed reports of data exports. The idea is
posted on Dimati's Uservoice and we encourage everyone to vote on ideas
that they would like to see added to CommCare.

Here is a link to the idea:

Hi Douglas,

I am about to start the same thing in a month. I don't know which plan
you're on, but you may be able to access the data through the API from a
third party service like Google Apps Script. API access requires a Standard
plan. Take a look at the Export API (to export excel files) or the Data API
(to access a list of form submissions + individual form data).

Here's the API documentation:

Sincerely,
Craig
