# Daily & Weekly Report Emails
> Daily and weekly emails covering member growth, autoresponder performance, conversions, donations, and retention.
Outpost sends automated report emails to your configured [Report Recipients](/features/report-recipients) so you don't have to log in every day to check performance.
Report emails include data not shown on the [Outpost Dashboard](/features/dashboard), such as CTA performance by slot, gated PDF stats, and per-email retention funnel metrics.
***
## When reports are sent
| Report | Schedule |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Daily** | Sent between 1 AM and 3 AM in your site's timezone (covers the previous day) |
| **Weekly** | Every Monday at 6 AM UTC (covers the previous 8 days, computed in your site's timezone) |
Both daily and weekly reports use the same format and sections — the only difference is the time period covered. Reports are only sent when there is activity to report on.
***
## Report sections
Each report email contains up to 12 sections. Sections only appear when there is relevant data for the period.
