What's New
New Send Format: Formatted - Email Body
Plus and Premium Editions
A new send format, Formatted - Email Body, lets you send a report in the body of an email while preserving its original formatting, including summary formulas. It's a formatted alternative to the existing Details Only - Email Body format, which sends a simple table with the report data. Pick whichever format fits the schedule: detail rows, or a formatted layout that matches what you see in Salesforce.

A Better Email Template Workflow
All Editions, unless noted
Three improvements make working with email templates faster and more flexible:
Merge fields for filtered recipients (Premium): dynamically filtered schedules now support merge fields in the email subject and body, personalized per recipient. When your recipient is a person (User, Lead, Contact, or Person Account), merge fields pull from that person's record; when your recipient is a different object (Account, Opportunity, or a custom object), merge fields pull from the related record instead. If you add a merge field that won't resolve for the selected recipient type, Report Sender now warns you before you send.
Create a template from the schedule editor: A new button takes you straight to the new email template screen, speeding up email template creation.
Refreshed template previews: the email template preview now reflects your latest changes instead of showing stale content. Helpful when you're making quick changes to your email templates.

No More Cutoff CSV and XLS Exports
All Editions
CSV and XLS exports no longer truncate cell values at 255 characters. Long text fields, descriptions, and notes now export in full.
Automatic Cleanup of Sent Report Files
All Editions
Files generated for scheduled sends are now automatically deleted after a configurable retention period (7 days by default), so old attachments stop eating into your org's Salesforce file storage.
Admins can change the retention period from Settings.
This retention period applies to files generated by scheduled sends. It does not apply to Send Now or Preview.
If a cleanup run fails, the error is included in your Report Sender Error Report email.
If you use secure file sharing, this retention period affects how long people can download the file. Otherwise, the retention period is for debugging only.
More Reliable Report & Dashboard Delivery
All Editions
We expanded automatic retries to cover more transient errors, including expired sessions and temporary connection failures between Report Sender and Salesforce:
Transient errors now use your schedule's full configured retry count, instead of stopping early after a single immediate retry.
If all retries are exhausted, you'll see a clearer, plain-language error message instead of a raw connection error.
Other Fixes and Improvements
Filtered & Dynamic Sends
Fixed: A raw SOQL exception was thrown when a field used in a filtered send's filter logic was deleted.
Added: A cap of 500 dynamic recipients per filtered schedule, with a clear message when the limit is reached. This was already a Salesforce limit; we just added clear messaging.
Fixed: A filtered schedule with more than 200 dynamically filtered recipients could fail to load.
Multi-File & Scheduled Sends
Fixed: Preview Send on a schedule showed the default template's subject and a blank body, even though Send Now worked correctly.
Added: Logs and failure emails for multi-file sends now identify which specific report or dashboard had the issue.
Fixed: Sending another user's multiple-file schedule could fail.
Fixed: An internal flag could get stuck after using Preview, causing a multi-file attachment to be silently skipped from the next scheduled send.
Exports & Report Formatting
Fixed: A navigation timeout error (120000 ms exceeded) on some report exports.
Fixed: Rich Text Area field values showed raw HTML tags in CSV, XLS, and email body exports.
Fixed: Custom currency fields sometimes showed blank in exported reports.
Fixed: Record IDs were returned in 18-character format instead of the expected 15-character format in some exports.
Fixed: Text field values containing angle brackets (e.g.,
<GmbH>) were silently truncated in XLS exports and emailed reports.Fixed: A Salesforce "undefined filter" (400) error could occur when exporting certain reports.
Administration & Usability
Added: A message on the Manage Users page clarifying that new users complete authorization automatically the first time they use Report Sender.
Fixed: Free/trial users with values already set in the safe list or block list couldn't clear them from the Settings tab.
Added: Recently viewed reports now show up in the Report Name field as soon as you click into it.
