How to email an Airtable view on a schedule (daily, weekly, monthly)

Want your manager to get "this week's closed deals" every Monday at 08:00, or a client to get a monthly status sheet? Here's how to email an Airtable view on a schedule, and where Airtable's own tools stop.

Option A: the native automation email

Open Automations and create one with the trigger At a scheduled time. Set the interval and time.
Add an action Find records. Choose the table and either pick a view or set conditions.
Add an action Send email. Insert the found records as a list or grid in the message body.

This works for small digests read in the email itself. Its limits:

No attachment. Recipients get an HTML table, not a file to sort, pivot or import.
Record cap. Find records only returns a limited number of records.
Formatting. Long text, attachments and linked records render inconsistently across email clients.
Timezone. Check which timezone the trigger uses, especially for recipients in other countries and around daylight saving changes.

Option B: share a view link

A shared view link always shows live data, and viewers can download a CSV themselves if you allow it. But nothing gets sent, so people have to remember to open it. Anyone with the link can see the data too.

Option C: send the view as a CSV attachment

If recipients work in Excel or Google Sheets, or you need a dated file for each period, send a CSV attachment. Tips that apply whatever tool you use:

Make a dedicated view for the export, for example "Weekly report – do not edit". Its filters, sort and visible fields then define the file, and teammates won't break it by accident.
Use relative date filters like "is within the past week" or "is within this month" so each email covers the right period.
Put the date in the filename, for example closed-deals-2026-03-02.csv, so files sort and archive nicely.
Pick the timezone explicitly. "08:00 Europe/Amsterdam" stays 08:00 local time after a DST change. A UTC schedule doesn't.
Use a UTF-8 BOM so Excel shows accents correctly.

ViewCourier does all of this out of the box. Choose daily, weekly (any weekday) or monthly (day 1–28), any hour, any IANA timezone, and a filename template like {view}-{date}.csv.
