“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.”
Manually generating and emailing QuickBooks reports on a schedule creates repetitive work and delays in getting current financial information to stakeholders. Automated delivery systems eliminate this manual work while ensuring recipients always access the most current data.
Here’s how to transform your role from manual report distributor to dashboard curator who sets up automation once and lets the system handle ongoing delivery.
Automate report delivery using Coefficient
Coefficient transforms QuickBooks report delivery from manual email distribution to automated, self-service access through scheduled data refreshes and shared spreadsheet links. Instead of manually generating and emailing reports on a schedule, you set up live data connections with automated refresh timing that matches your delivery needs, then share access through QuickBooks -connected dashboards.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up automated data connections.
Import data from standard QuickBooks reports like Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, or create custom datasets using Objects & Fields selections. This creates the foundation for your automated delivery system without manual report generation.
Step 2. Configure delivery-appropriate refresh schedules.
Set refresh intervals that match your delivery needs – daily updates for standard financial reports, weekly for trend analysis, or hourly for critical metrics like cash flow. The system automatically pulls updated data from QuickBooks based on your configured schedule.
Step 3. Replace email distribution with shared access.
Share spreadsheet links with stakeholders instead of managing email distribution lists. Recipients receive the shared link once and can access refreshed reports whenever needed, eliminating the manual work of generating and distributing updated versions.
Step 4. Set up different schedules for different report types.
Create multiple automated workflows with appropriate timing for each report category. Configure daily refreshes for operational reports, weekly updates for strategic analysis, and hourly refreshes for time-sensitive financial metrics.
Step 5. Enable self-service report access.
Stakeholders bookmark their dashboard links and access current QuickBooks data on their own schedule rather than waiting for scheduled email delivery. The automated system handles all data updates in the background while providing immediate access to current information.
