Email

Configure Email as a Destination in OWOX Data Marts to allow business users to receive messages based on the results of each Data Mart run.

For example, you may want to notify a stakeholder every time a scheduled run produces updated data (such as new results from the Facebook Ads connector). You can also choose to receive an email only when the run result is empty.

Email example

☝️ Make sure that the insights@e.owox.com address is not in your block list, and that emails do not end up in your spam folder.

Configuration Steps

Follow the steps below to configure your Email destination.

Step 1. Create a Destination

1.1. Open the Destinations page

In the OWOX Data Marts web application, open Destinations in the main menu and click + New Destination.

Title: Enter a unique name for the Destination (for example, “Marketing Team”).
User emails list: Add recipient email addresses separated by commas, semicolons, or new lines
(for example: joe.doe@company.com, ceo@company.com, marketing.team@company.com).

Step 2. Create a Report for this Destination

For each Destination, you can create as many reports as needed and configure different schedules for them.

2.1. Open the Data Mart page

Go to your Data Mart and open the Destinations tab.

2.2. Add a new report

In the block labeled with the name of your Destination, click + Add report.

The table displays the message No reports for this destination. A red arrow points to the Add Report button with a plus icon in the upper right of the destination section

2.3. Configure general settings

Enter a report title and make sure the report is assigned to the correct Destination.
You can also view and copy the list of report recipients.

2.4. Configure the template

Add a Subject and write the Message using Markdown.
Switch to Preview to check how the email will appear to recipients.

2.5. Set sending conditions

Decide when the report should be sent based on the Data Mart run result:

Send always – the report is sent after every run.
Send only when result is empty – the report is sent only if the Data Mart returns no data.
Send only when result is not empty – the report is sent only if the Data Mart returns data.

OWOX automatically runs the Data Mart before sending the report and checks the result. Your selected condition determines whether the report is sent.

Below, a dropdown menu labeled Send always is expanded, revealing three options: Send always (selected with a checkmark), Send only when result is empty, and Send only when result is not empty. A red arrow points from the label to the dropdown

2.6. (Optional) Scheduling

To run this report automatically on a schedule (for example, every 5 minutes or every Monday and Wednesday at 3:00 PM), create a new trigger in the Automate Report Runs section.

You can also add the trigger later in the Triggers tab of your Data Mart.

2.7. Create the report

Click Create New Report to apply the report settings. If you want to run the report immediately, click Create & Run report instead.
