Brand Spankin’ New Email Stats! Come And Get Em’!
Yeah! Some of you may have never noticed they were missing, and some of you may have never known we had them, but there was an often ignored Woopra feature that was on the list of things to update – which just got completely overhauled. Namely, the ability to get email reports for any of your site’s stats sent to you on a Daily, Weekly or Monthly basis.
NOTE: This is one of the features that only comes with the paid accounts. The reports generate a lot of load on our servers, especially when we are talking about thousands of them at a time. So if you are on the free plan you can bump up to Bronze for $5 per month and get these reports (among other things).
These stats are fully customizable, and you can choose who should receive them (multiple recipients is perfectly fine too), how often they should be sent, and even which particular stats should be included within the report. Oh, and in case I forgot to mention it, you can also generate an email report on demand whenever you need one.
So, if the boss is breathing down your neck for an analysis of the Web site traffic, you might want to act like it’s going to be a whole lot of work to “pull all that data together”, then take an extra long coffee break, play a helicopter game, and finally log into your Member’s area and just run the report. It will come out all freshly baked and nicely formatted so you can just print it out or email it over to him.
Of course, that assumes that you didn’t previously already use Woopra’s Sharing feature to give your boss access to the stats. In which case he probably already has his own different reports set up and scheduled, so he really isn’t going to be happy about that long coffee break now is he?
Right then. Back to work! But not before you head over to your Member’s area and set up your own custom email reports. Enjoy!
By the way, I want to add 2 things:
Suggestions and requests are always very appreciated!

I have tried this feature with two different sites. It’s the main reason I upgraded my package. It has NEVER worked and I have yet to receive an email after several attempts.
Did you try it in the past week, or months before? A very few members have had problems in the past couple days and we’ve just updated the server to fix this issue. Please try it again within a few hours if you are having trouble as the server needs time to update. And please report any issues you are having on our Twitter or in our forum for faster response. Thanks.
Yes, I tried it several times earlier this week and twice today. Still no luck. It says, “Your email report has been submitted successfully.” Then the pop-up comes up to confirm the email address and says, “Your email report has been sent.”
Thanks. Let me dig into this and see what’s going on.
Getting reports from others that the email reports are now working. Please try again and let us know in the forums if this feature is working for you. Thanks.
