As I search the Forum I can not find some topic matching my question. Please point me if you know some topic.

I am wondering which way to go to get an automated report from Tryton. Let’s say a monthly generated Report that is to be sent to some Email without user interaction. Here in special the “aged\_balances”.

Can this be done with Triggers and trytond-cron? Should I code some Script that interacts with the Tryton-Webservice via json-rpc?

Regards…  
Chris

We currently have no way to send scheduled reports by email.  
We just allow to send [notifications based on record events](https://docs.tryton.org/projects/modules-notification-email/en/latest/) and allow the user to [send emails directly from the user interface](https://bugs.tryton.org/issue9449)

Giving your case I think it’s easier to have a method on the module that should be call by trytond-cron and send the report to the desired recipients.

Altought it is possible to have a script and automate it using a normall cron I think it’s easier to develop it using the trytond-cron feature.

Thank’s for your helpful assessment.

No Idea how to write or modify modules at the moment but will read me trough the docs in the next weeks.
