# Reports

> Scheduled analytics summaries pushed straight to your hub

## Overview

A **Report** is a scheduled automation that pulls analytics from your store, optionally adds an AI-written summary, and delivers it to a notification hub (Slack, Email, Telegram, or Discord) on a recurring schedule.

Where a [Trigger](/docs/features/triggers) reacts to an event, a Report runs on a clock — daily, weekly, or monthly — so you don't have to open the Shopify admin to know how the store is doing.

Reports live alongside Triggers and Goals under the **Automations** section.

## Data Source

Each report pulls its data one of two ways:

| Source                 | Description                                            |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Pre-built template** | A ready-made analytics query — pick from the dropdown. |
| **Custom query**       | Write your own ShopifyQL query for full control.       |

### Pre-built Report Templates

| Template                | Default Schedule | What it shows                            |
| ----------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Daily Revenue Summary   | Daily, 8am       | Total & gross sales for the previous day |
| Weekly Performance      | Weekly, 9am      | Day-by-day sales for the last 7 days     |
| Inventory Health        | Weekly, 9am      | Low / out-of-stock variants              |
| Monthly Business Review | Monthly, 8am     | Sales over the last 3 months with totals |
| Lapsed Customers        | Weekly, 9am      | Customers who haven't ordered recently   |
| Sales Pace Check        | Daily, 12pm      | Trailing 30-day revenue vs. pace         |

<Note>
  Reports run on Shopify's analytics engine (ShopifyQL). The full set of stats
  is available without any extra setup beyond connecting a hub.

## AI Summaries (Pro / Max)

On paid plans, Alius can prepend a short, plain-English **AI summary** above the report data:

> **AI Summary:** Revenue is up 12% week-over-week, driven mainly by repeat customers. Three products are now low on stock.
>
> ***
>
> *(the full report table follows)*

* Generated by AI from the rendered report — fast and inexpensive.
* **Fail-open:** if the summary can't be generated, the report still sends with its data intact.
* The deterministic data table is always included; the AI text is an addition, never a replacement.

Free plan reports send the data table without an AI summary.

## Creating a Report

1. Click **Create Automation** → choose the **Report** tab.
2. Pick a pre-built template or **Blank** to start from scratch.
3. Set the **Title**.
4. Choose a **Data source** (pre-built template or custom ShopifyQL).
5. Choose a **Schedule** and UTC hour (non-daily schedules require Pro/Max).
6. Select a **Hub** and its channels/recipients.
7. Save.

Use the **Fire (test)** button to send the report immediately and verify the output — this runs the real data + AI path.
