Custom reports generation

Hi, is there any custom nodes or templates available on Losant to do reports generation ?
I need reports either in csv or pdf format to be generated from Events and sent by email or otherwise on a scheduled basis.
I see only Notebooks feature but that looks complicated for what I need.
Even periodic export of Losant Events to csv file would do…
Thanks Sean.

Hello @SEAN_O_CONNELL,

Notebooks would be my first suggestion. Notebooks would allow you to take some events from an Event: Get Node and turn them into a report using some of the libraries included in the Notebook Environment.

Even periodic export of Losant Events to csv file would do…

You can do something like this, but with a Timer Trigger Node:

This will send an email to the one listed in the JSON Template field for the Losant API node, and you will be able to download the export of your events. This is the same as using the Event Export endpoint, so you will be able to filter for specific events.

I do agree, though, that a custom node or template for report generation would be a great idea. If and when that gets implemented, I will be sure to let you know.

Thank you,
Heath

Ok thanks, I will try out this example …
