Scheduling reports & data driven alerts in Amazon Quicksight [closed]

I am exploring Amazon Quicksight as a cloud-based BI tool. We have some nice to have requirements like

  1. Schedule Reports on a monthly basis on the same set of datasets. This needs to be delivered to the intended audience every month on a specific date
  2. Data driven Alerts, where based on certain triggers an alert needs to be generated.
  3. Dual axes bar charts for multiple measures in one chart. (Tableau has it)

I couldn't find the above three features in the documentation. I believe QuickSight is not capable of doing this at this moment. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Is this something that the quicksight team has in its pipeline?

What are schedule reports?

Scheduled reports are reports that start automatically at a defined point in time. They run in the background and you can view the results later. For example, you can define that a report that strongly affects system performance is to run only at night when no one is working with the system.

What is a primary benefit of scheduling reports?

Scheduled reports typically initialize one or more alert actions each time they run, such as sending the results of the report run to a set of recipients, logging and indexing custom log events, or adding the results to a CSV lookup. You can also use scheduled reports to populate summary indexes.

How do I find scheduled workday reports?

Scheduled reports are delivered to a user's My Reports, which is in the drop down list of your profile picture in the upper right corner of the screen.

QuickSight does support scheduled report delivery, but the other two options you mentioned aren't available right now. I have no insight to their roadmap. For data driven alerts, I would think you would want to use some other tool such as a scheduled Lambda, Kinesis, or CloudWatch Events.

For more on report delivery, see Amazon QuickSight now supports Email Reports and Data Labels.
