How to send Dashboard as an image to MS Teams in QS SAAS

[KingsleyJH]

Hi.

Is it possible to loop through all the sheets in a QS SAAS app, export it as an image and then send via teams?

I can only see an option for PDFs but it would be nice to have it sent as an image instead.

Many thanks

Seems to be working. Thank you!

Hello,

With this code, I achieve to store the image on OneDrive or S3. But how did you send this image with the teams connector ?

Thanks for your help.

..qlikcloud.com/api/v1/sharing-tasks/{monitorinhubid}/executions/latest/files/image-small?status=successful via the open file HTTP block. 
You need to pass two headers with HTTP block.
API key -- > Bearer {Your api key}
Content-Type --> image/png
+ set encoding to base64

Hi

First you want to encode the image to a base64 string with the Base64 encode function:

Next, you can use this tutorial to send the image to teams

Beware that the API endpoint of  monitor in hub snapshots is not a publicly supported API endpoint by Qlik (check on qlik.dev). Therefore, it could be that Qlik stops supporting this over time as it "competes" with their reporting API solution (which is limited by your license).

Hello @MikkoL 

Can you share your automation ?

I try to encode the image as base64 but it doesn't work

in the log, it says that the base64 field is empty...

I don't understand what the block want.

Can you help me ?

Thanks
