Situation
Your team keeps a live Grafana (or any BI) dashboard that shows key numbers—traffic, revenue, error rates. Some execs and investors need that data every morning, but they hate logging in or hunting for URLs. They want the highlights waiting in their inbox.
Goal
Send a clean, one‑page PDF each day that shows an up‑to‑the‑minute screenshot of the dashboard, so stakeholders can see trends at a glance without opening any tools.
How ScreenshotOne helps
ScreenshotOne PDF generation API helps you with that:
- Grab the view: Call the ScreenshotOne PDF endpoint with the dashboard URL. It spins up a headless browser, waits for all the charts to render, then captures a full‑page image.
- Wrap as PDF: Add
format=pdfin the same request. ScreenshotOne drops the screenshot into a PDF—no extra code needed. - Automate & email: Schedule the call with a cron job (or GitHub Action, Zapier, etc.). Once the PDF is saved, trigger your usual email service (SendGrid, SES, Gmail API) to attach the file and send it to the mailing list.
curl "https://api.screenshotone.com/take?access_key=<your api key></your>&format=pdf&url=https://dashboard.example.com/"Result
Every morning, stakeholders open their email, glance at a single‑page PDF, and know exactly how the business is doing—no logins, no forgotten passwords, no extra noise. You stay focused on building dashboards; ScreenshotOne handles the capture and formatting.
ScreenshotOne is a really helpful service provider. All that I need for my work is combined here.
Service is comfortable, fast, and consistent. It has a nice support service that always stays active to problems of users and has an immediate response time.
I really appreciate and recommend ScreenshotOne to everyone.
