Planner Time Interval
Emails are sent using a time interval which uses Cron format. For example a time interval of 0 4 * * * would trigger the planner every day at 4 AM.
For assistance creating the "time interval" a third party site crontab.guru is a good resource.
Email setup
Click "edit" to open the email configuration page. Check the Enable box in the email upon section. Enter email addresses in the Email to or Email cc sections. Multiple address are accepted, with each additional email address separated by a comma.
The Email attachment sections is used to add Export Block descriptors such as tag reports. As an example $dtTL$ftT$fnTagList is used to send a text document called TagList that contains a list of all tags on the Flexy.
Add Report using Export Block Descriptor
Resources for export Block descriptor can be found here. Once complete, put into the email attachment:
&[ export block descriptor]
Then press "update" at the bottom of the page.
The email can be tested ahead of scheduled time by pressing the “force” button in the main Planner menu.
