### Introduction

Dashboard Summary Mail enables automated delivery of dashboard summaries to selected recipients via email.

This feature is primarily used for:

* Operational monitoring (weekly)
* Management reporting (monthly)
* Executive overview (yearly)

> Emails are sent from [**noreply@autommate.com**](mailto:noreply@autommate.com) via **Autom Mate Mail Service**
