“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Setting up automated email notifications for QuickBooks reports requires combining automated data refreshes with Google Sheets’ notification features. QuickBooks alone cannot send automated email notifications, making this a significant workflow enhancement.
Here’s how to create a zero-click system where QuickBooks reports automatically refresh and trigger email notifications to your team.
Create automated QuickBooks email notifications using Coefficient
Coefficient provides the data foundation by automatically refreshing QuickBooks reports in Google Sheets. Combined with Google Sheets’ notification rules, you get automated email distribution that QuickBooks’ static report snapshots can’t match. The system eliminates manual report generation and creates consistent email timing aligned with your refresh schedule.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import and schedule QuickBooks report refreshes.
Connect your QuickBooks account through Coefficient and import desired reports like P&L, Balance Sheet, or Cash Flow into Google Sheets. Configure scheduled refreshes (hourly, daily, or weekly) to keep your data current automatically.
Step 2. Configure Google Sheets email notifications.
In Google Sheets, go to Tools > Notification Rules and set triggers for “Any changes are made.” Choose your email frequency (immediately, daily digest, or weekly summary) and add team member email addresses who should receive updates.
Step 3. Set up advanced automation options.
Use Google Apps Script to create custom email templates with report summaries and key metrics highlighted. You can also set up conditional notifications that trigger when financial metrics exceed specific thresholds, creating alert-based reporting.
Step 4. Configure team distribution settings.
Set up different notification rules for different reports. Send daily P&L summaries to the finance team, weekly cash flow updates to leadership, and monthly A/R aging reports to sales teams. Multiple stakeholders receive updates simultaneously without manual intervention.
Streamline your financial reporting communications
