# Build a recurring report

> Define a repeatable performance report with a clear scope, cadence, audience, and delivery path.

Use a recurring report when the same audience needs the same decision-ready view on a predictable schedule. Start with the decision the report should support, then choose the smallest set of metrics that answers it.

## Define the report

* **Audience:** who reads it and what they decide.
* **Scope:** accounts, channels, campaigns, products, or markets.
* **Period:** reporting window and comparison.
* **Metrics:** primary outcome and supporting diagnostics.
* **Cadence:** when the report should run.
* **Delivery:** where the configured workflow should send or store the result.

## Starting request

```text theme={null}
Create a [daily or weekly] report for [audience] covering [scope].
Report [primary metrics] for [reporting window] and compare with [baseline].
Highlight only changes above [threshold or decision rule], cite the connected data, and separate observations from recommendations.
Deliver it through [configured destination] at [cadence and timezone].
Show me the configuration before enabling the schedule.
```

## Verify the first run

* Confirm the connected accounts and filters.
* Check the reporting window, timezone, currency, and comparison.
* Verify that every metric has a clear source.
* Confirm the destination and who can access it.
* Read one completed run before depending on the schedule.

<Note>
  A scheduled report is only as current as its connected sources. A delayed sync can change what is available when a run starts.
