With the new inclusion of the Get Chart Image block in the Qlik Reporting connector in Qlik Application Automation, you now have more options to notify a group of users with more in-depth data and charts using Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email.
This article will guide you in sending your first chart image to Slack with Qlik Application Automation.
It explains a basic example of a template configured in Qlik Application Automation for this scenario.
You can make use of the template which is available in the template picker. You can find it by navigating to Add new -> New automation -> Search templates and searching for 'Send a Chart Image to Slack' in the search bar, and clicking the Use template option.
For guidance on sending charts via Microsoft Teams and mail, go to the "Next Steps" section at the end of this article.
You can download examples of the automations from this article: Send-chart-image-to-slack.json, Send-chart-image-to-outlook.json, Send-chart-image-to-mail.json, Send-chart-image-to-microsoft-teams.json

Great feature finally deployed. I'm trying to create an example but when a do the lookup do find the app in the get chart image block, it doesn't return the app I'm looking for. The list is shorter compared with the do lookup in the previous blocks from Qlik Cloud Services.
@PabloLabbeImaps The lookup will only retrieve the first 100 apps, you can use the lookup search bar to do a new lookup by searching for apps by name.
Hope this helps!!
Thanks
Yes, I'm using the lookup search bar and it doesn't show all the apps I'm searching by name.
When I do the search lookup in the "Create Bookmark" block it show me all app with the name "Iron".
When I do the search lookup in the "Get Chart Image" block it show me just 2 apps with the name "Iron", not all.
I've uploaded a gif video showing the behavior of the search lookup in these 2 different blocks.
We have created an internal ticket to improve the search functionality.
Meanwhile, you can manually fill in the app id in the input parameter.
Thanks
Hi @PabloLabbeImaps , thanks for raising it, even am also facing the same issue, As @AfeefaTk suggested, if you include app id straighty, is it working fine?
Hi @GOKULAKANNAN , yes it worked after including the app id manually.
