Included on every plan. ## Short answer Linkbreakers sends **scheduled analytics reports by email**, called email digests. Each workspace chooses **weekly** (every Monday), **monthly** (on the 1st) or **no report**, in [Workspace Settings](https://app.linkbreakers.com/workspace/dashboard/settings). The report covers every QR code and link in the workspace: total visits, cities reached, top device and top performing link, with the change against the previous period. It goes to the workspace's Admin and Tech members, and it is included on every plan, Free included. ## What is an email digest An email digest is an automated analytics report on your workspace activity over a set period. Instead of logging into the dashboard to check performance, the report brings the key numbers to your inbox on a fixed schedule, with no setup beyond choosing how often. Each digest email includes: | Data point | Description | |---|---| | Total visits | Number of visits during the period, with the percentage change against the previous period | | Cities reached | How many distinct cities your visitors came from, with how many more or fewer than the previous period | | Top device | The device that generated the most visits | | Top performing link | The link or QR code that received the most visits, with its visit count | The email ends with a **View Full Analytics** button that opens your [analytics dashboard](https://app.linkbreakers.com/workspace/dashboard) already set to the dates the report covers, for a deeper look at the data. ## How to configure your digest frequency 1. Go to [Workspace Settings](https://app.linkbreakers.com/workspace/dashboard/settings) 2. Scroll to the **Email digest** section 3. Select your preferred frequency: - **No digest**: disables report emails entirely - **Weekly**: delivered every Monday, covering the previous 7 days - **Monthly**: delivered on the 1st of each month, covering the previous month 4. The choice is saved as soon as you select it The change takes effect immediately. Your next report follows the schedule you selected. ## When digests are sent Weekly digests are sent every **Monday at 05:00 UTC** and cover Monday through Sunday of the previous week. Monthly digests are sent on the **1st of each month at 05:00 UTC** and cover the entire previous calendar month. At 05:00 UTC the previous period is closed everywhere, and it is early morning in Europe. This means if you switch to weekly on a Wednesday, your first report arrives the following Monday with the previous full week of data. ## Who receives the digest The digest is tied to the workspace, not to a person. Every workspace member with the **Admin** or **Tech** role and a verified email address receives it. Members with the Viewer role do not. See [the workspace roles](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/what-are-the-workspace-roles-in-linkbreakers) for what each role can do. The setting applies at the workspace level, so everyone who receives it gets the same schedule. ## Use cases ### Active campaign monitoring If you're running time-sensitive campaigns with [QR codes](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/how-to-create-a-trackable-qr-code-for-real-campaigns) or [branded links](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/how-to-create-branded-links-in-linkbreakers), a weekly digest helps you catch performance changes quickly. A sudden drop in scans or visits shows up in the next Monday email. ### Long-term tracking For teams that manage campaigns over weeks or months, the monthly digest provides a high-level view without the noise. You see trends over time: whether traffic is growing, which links consistently perform, and how your geographic reach evolves. ### Staying informed without dashboard access Team members who don't log into the dashboard regularly can still stay informed through digest emails. This is particularly useful for managers or stakeholders who want visibility into campaign performance without navigating the platform daily. ### One report per client for agencies Agencies that run [one workspace per client](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/how-to-manage-qr-codes-for-multiple-clients) get one report per client: each workspace has its own schedule and its own numbers, sent to that workspace's Admin and Tech members. ## Other ways to get your analytics out - **CSV export** of your scan events and visitors, from the Live and Visitors pages. - **[Google Analytics 4](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/google-analytics-4-integration-for-qr-codes-and-links)**, to report on scans, clicks and leads next to the rest of your site traffic. - **[Webhooks](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/how-do-webhooks-work-in-linkbreakers)** and the API, to send every event to your own systems as it happens. ## Limits and caveats - The schedule is fixed: Mondays for weekly, the 1st for monthly, both at 05:00 UTC. - One frequency per workspace: weekly, monthly or none. - The report covers the whole workspace. It cannot be limited to one link, tag or directory; use a [per-link dashboard](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/per-link-analytics-dashboard) for that. - A workspace with no visits during the period gets no email for that period. - The workspace must be verified, and recipients need a verified email address. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Linkbreakers send scheduled analytics reports? Yes. The email digest is a scheduled analytics report that Linkbreakers sends weekly (every Monday) or monthly (on the 1st), covering every QR code and link in the workspace. Choose the frequency in Workspace Settings under **Email digest**. ### Is the scheduled report available on the Free plan? Yes. Email digests are included on every plan, Free included. Monthly is the usual default for a new workspace; check Workspace Settings to see or change yours. ### Can I receive both weekly and monthly digests? No. The setting is a single choice per workspace. You can select weekly, monthly, or none. If you want both levels of detail, the weekly digest gives you more granular data while you can review monthly trends directly in the [dashboard](https://app.linkbreakers.com/workspace/dashboard). ### What happens if I have no traffic during a period? No email is sent for that period. A report with zero visits has nothing to tell you, so the digest is skipped until there is traffic to report. ### Can I change the digest day or time? Not currently. Weekly digests go out on Mondays and monthly digests on the 1st, both at 05:00 UTC. The schedule is the same for all workspaces. ### How do I stop receiving digests? Go to [Workspace Settings](https://app.linkbreakers.com/workspace/dashboard/settings) and set the email digest to **No digest**. You will stop receiving digest emails immediately. ### Can I add more people to the report? Anyone you add to the workspace with the Admin or Tech role receives it once their email is verified. Viewers do not. ### Does the digest include data from all links in the workspace? Yes. The digest summarizes traffic across all links and QR codes in your workspace. The top performing link is the one with the most visits during the period. ## Last reviewed 2026-10-31: schedule, contents, recipients and plan availability checked against the product.
