# Schedule a dashboard email

If you want to keep other buyers or leads updated, you can schedule automated email alerts for your dashboards. With scheduling, you can send recurring emails (e.g., daily, monthly) with data from your dashboard to list of recipients. You can filter the data for specific recipients, and send it in CSV, PDF, or PNG format.

* **Schedule Name**: Enter a name for your alert. This name will be used as the subject the scheduled emails and will also default as the name of the dashboard.
* **Recurrence**: Select how often you want to receive alerts.
* **Time**: Select the time to send alerts. Select a time using the 24-hour time format. This defaults to the Eastern Standard Time (EST) timezone . You can change the timezone on the Advanced options tab.

On the **Filters** tab, add any filters you want applied when generating the alert. By default, the standard dashboard filters are used. If you have manually updated filters on the dashboard, you will need to also apply them on this tab.
