Schedule and Share Reports Automatically

Marfeel makes it easy to seamlessly integrate your most important data into your day to day processes with automatic scheduled sharing of your reports.

Any report in Marfeel can be saved and shared, having it delivered right to the inbox or channel where it will have the most impact. Schedule reports for anyone in a shared workspace to have them sent by email or via our Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations. The latter option is particularly powerful, as the right report in the right channel can foster important discussion among key stakeholders.

How to subscribe to reports via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Email

Marfeel allows you full control when it comes to scheduling so that each user can create a custom reporting schedule that enhances productivity based on habit-forming routines.

  • Deliver reports via public channels on Slack or Microsoft Teams to align everyone around the same data and create good habits throughout the organization with regularly scheduled reports. Having the data right in a channel is a great way to instigate conversations and keep everyone aligned around business goals.

  • Send reports to an individual account on Slack, Microsoft Teams or via email for personal habit creation and to stay accountable to individual and business objectives.

  1. From any saved report, click the Subscribe button in the top-right corner:
  2. Select the channel or email address where you would like to send it. Note that you can only send it to email addresses of people with whom a workspace has been shared previously.

Via Slack

  1. Select Slack in the drop-down menu as shown above.
  2. In the scheduling window, select the individual users or channels where you would like to send the report. All public channels from the integrated Slack account are listed. Note that only users who have access to the workspace will appear here.

  2. If you choose Weekly, you can choose as many specific days of the week that you want the report delivered. For example, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Of course, you also choose the time of day you prefer to receive it:

Set up for success: Scheduled reports usage

Marfeel has features enabled throughout the platform to let users know whether a given metric is “good” or “bad” relative to past performance. However, there is no replacement for the independent vigilance and deepened understanding of the individuals inside an organization. Marfeel can tell publishers what is happening, but unless key stakeholders are keeping an eye on things, opportunities will fall through the cracks.

Here are some examples of scheduled report that can make a difference in a professional or organization’s success:

Are we making progress toward our goals?

Track progress toward the objectives set out in the business plan such as increasing the amount of acquired traffic, subscriptions, or revenue with weekly or monthly goal tracking reports.

For example, to track acquired traffic month to month by section in Optimize , set the Goal to Acquired Traffic for the Last 30 days, drill down by Section. To eliminate outliers, filter by Number of articles > 5. Here you can see which sections are bringing in the most traffic per article:

Subscribe to this report to have it delivered to your inbox or your team’s Slack channel every week or month. Compare the best and worst-performing sections from month to month to see which sections consistently bring you closer to your goal, and which ones are possibly holding the publication back.

How are we doing compared to last month?

Save and schedule a monthly progress report detailing the number of Users, Pageviews, and New articles per Section compared to the Preceding period.

How was yesterday?

The Good Morning is a classic Marfeel report. In fact it’s so good that it’s been turned into a playbook. Have it emailed every morning or sent to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel in order to see the top stories in terms of acquired traffic, page views, loyalty, and subscriptions. This is an essential report that editors use to find opportunities to optimize content and continue the conversation around trending topics.

How did my articles do yesterday?

Authors can benefit greatly from a daily report on their article performance by personalizing the Good Morning report and subscribing to it daily. In the Good Morning playbook, select your Author name to see all relevant metrics related to your article performance from yesterday. Save to a workspace, then click Subscribe, and Send every day.

How was search traffic yesterday?

SEOs can automatically receive an update on yesterday’s search performance with a version of the Good Morning report focused on search traffic. Save to the SEO team’s workspace and Subscribe to push to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel daily to keep everyone on the same page about which traffic is pulling in readers via Google, Google Discover, and other Search traffic sources.

How can we curate more evergreen content?

Evergreen content is that which is still getting traffic after 7 days. These are brand-defining articles and often one of the entry points for new users to a site. Reviewing this content on a regular basis is crucial to understanding what is content stands the test of time and how readers are finding it.

To schedule an Evergreen report from Compass, switch from real-time data to historical and filter by Content type=Evergreen. Save to a workspace and, once saved, click the Subscribe button.

Have we missed opportunities this week?

While it’s always nice to see good numbers and metrics that exceed expectations, it’s equally important to use data to show us where there is room for improvement. For example, stay accountable by scheduling weekly reports that show missed opportunities for social media engagement or to increase embed video. These reports show articles that made an impact but lacked social media (Has social=false) or video (Has video=false).

How did our campaigns do this month?

As mentioned in the workspaces Overview, generating a report on ad campaign performance can be particularly helpful to share with sponsors. To schedule a report for anyone internal or external to your organization, generate Ad impressions in Explore for a sponsored campaign and subscribe to the saved report.

Similarly, internal campaign reports can be useful for the in-house marketing team. For example, generate a report on which links from a newsletter are most popular and push it to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel to keep everyone on the same page about what’s working and what’s not.
