I'm no techie, but Microsoft Flow (or Power Automate, whatever they call it now) was a lifesaver for my daily report slinging. Drag, drop, point, click, and it does the job. Boss doesn't even know I automated it, thinks I'm just diligent.

Legit just automate your reporting process end to end. If you're using spreadsheets, something simple as Google Sheets + Google Scripts could send those reports for you. Literally just set a time trigger in the script editor. BOOM, emails are flying out while you sip coffee and browse reddit. Lots of templates out there if you don’t wanna write from scratch.

Just tell your boss you’re going paperless for the environment and that they should check their inbox more often. Or maybe just start sending carrier pigeons with USB sticks. Works like a charm.

For a dirty quick fix, bash scripting can sling emails like nobody’s business. Look into mutt, ssmtp, or mailx, and just cron job it. If you need help, stack overflow’s your best friend. Just don't forget to umask your passwords and sensitive stuff, wouldn’t want that leaking.

so i literally just heard about this thing called node-RED, it's supposed to like string together all these data processing nodes visually and i think you can use it to send emails too? might be worth checking out if you're not into actual code coding just yet

Automation's the future. If you're report's web-based or smth, try using IFTTT or Zapier to link ur data source to an email service. They have pre-built 'zaps' that might do just what you need, but if not, you can create custom workflows. Pretty intuitive, and no hardcore coding required.

Ugh, totally feel ya. If you're doing the same report every day u can use excel macros to make it, then some VBA to fire it off to your boss with outlook. check out some forums on vba macros, lot of code snippets to cobble together what you need.

Been there, scripting will save your sanity. You can use Python for this with the smtplib library. Write a script that reads your report, attaches it to an email, and sends it to your boss's email address. If you're using Gmail, check out Google's App Password feature to get through their security without hassle. Cron jobs (Linux) or Task Scheduler (Windows) can automate the script daily. If you're not up on Python, plenty of tutorials out there, just google 'python email automation'.
