Downloading and sending your custom reports by email
In Matomo, you can download scheduled reports or send them by email to share analytics data with colleagues and stakeholders. Reports are available in different formats, including PDF, HTML, CSV and TSV.
To create a report and configure its delivery frequency, see Create and schedule a report).
Download or send a scheduled report
- Navigate to Administration
> Personal > Schedule reports. - Find the report you want to download or send.
- Click Download to save the report, or
- Click Send Report now to email it to the configured recipients.
Both options use the date currently selected in the Matomo calendar. When reports are sent automatically, daily, weekly and monthly reports use the previous day, week and month, respectively.
When you view reports in HTML, CSV or TSV format, Matomo automatically includes % percentage of total columns alongside supported metrics. These percentages help you understand the contribution of each row to the corresponding metric’s total without manually calculating the proportions.
Due to page width limitations, PDF reports do not include additional percentage columns.

Email reports (PDF or HTML or CSV) and graphs will also display in languages using other character sets (assuming [you uploaded the unicode font][1]). For example, a report generated by a Japanese Matomo user:

The Acquisition Channel Type report example with the report configuration including the option Show Historical Graphs for the top 5 values to get a historical graph displayed above each report.
