Send end of day a report by email

karel · January 26, 2021, 11:29am

Good morning all
at the end of a period, I would like the manager of a restaurant to receive the end of day report by email.
is it possible? if so, how to do it?
Thank you

Step 1 - Search the forum.

Step 2 - Give it a shot

You need to create action for creating the report, sending an email, then a rule based on the event you want (likely end of workperiod or time based), then include the report in the email. There are a lot of examples of this on the forum.

Hello
I followed the different steps but after the end of the period, I received the following message (screenshot)

That seems printer related just like my sample.

Anything in the log with System.Net.Mail.SmtpException? It would look something like this:

if I understand you correctly, a printer must be connected to my pc.
if so, I will do it when I am with my client. for the moment, I am working with a test version on my pc

karel · January 29, 2021, 7:58am

just for my personal culture, what is the role of the terminal tab on samba post?
A brief summary will allow me to better understand its usefulness.
thank you

Posflow · January 29, 2021, 9:00am

If you are referring to Terminals in Local Settings, you can create a new Terminal name that can later be used to assign different menus, automation commands, rules etc specifically for that terminal.

karel · January 29, 2021, 10:25am

I understand you, please if you have a procedure that will allow me to better understand its operation (Terminal) it will help me.
thank you

Jesse · January 29, 2021, 12:24pm

Kb.sambapos.com has everything. Terminals allows you to assign terminal names to each terminal in a multi terminal environment.

karel · January 29, 2021, 12:28pm

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Memo · January 29, 2021, 1:08pm

The printer would be a separate issue and should have no effect on sending an email.
