How to avoid sending an empty report?

Is there a way to avoid sending an empty report? I'm thinking about converting the report to an alert but the customer would like to keep it as a report.

Hi @danielbb ,

instead a scheduled report, use an alert that fires if results is greater than 0.

Ciao.

Hi @danielbb 

If you want to be able to conditionally run the email alert action then it needs to be an Alert rather than a report. This allows you to only send if the number of results > 0.

What are the customers reservations about having an alert vs report? They are pretty much the same thing.
