How to configure a scheduled report to not send an email if no results are found?

[reswob4]

I have a search for an event and that search is saved as a report and that report runs every hour. But since that event doesn't happen very often, most of the time I get an email that says:

The scheduled report 'REPORT' has run.

Report:  'REPORT'

View results in Spunk

No results found.

I don't particularly care if no results are found, I just want an email when the report contains results. How do I modify my report so that it doesn't send anything if no results are found?

Is there something on the Advanced Edit page that I can use?

Thanks.

Turns out the best way to do this is to make it an alert. Then the actions only happen if results are > 0 (or whatever you set there)
