# Weekly & monthly email reports

> A Monday-morning summary of visitors, revenue and top sources, compared with the week before.

Section: Features

Each member can get a short report per site: every Monday for the previous week, and optionally on the 1st for the previous month.

## Choose your reports

1. **Open Settings → Notifications**

   Under **Your emails**, switch **Weekly report** (on by default) and **Monthly report** (off by default).

2. **Check your time zone**

   Reports arrive at 8:00 in the time zone you pick, and weeks and months start at midnight there. Use the shortcut to take your browser’s zone.

The choice is yours alone; other members of the site keep their own settings. The email’s unsubscribe link turns off that report for that site.

## What’s in a report

| Section | Shows |
| --- | --- |
| Headline | Visitors and revenue, and the change in visitors compared with the period before. |
| Key numbers | Visitors, pageviews, revenue (when you have payments), conversion rate or your primary goal, bounce rate and time on site, each with its change. |
| Top channels and referrers | Where visitors came from, with revenue when payments are linked. |
| Top pages and countries | The five most visited of each. |
| Open full report | The dashboard for exactly that period. |

- Weekly: Monday 00:00 to Monday 00:00, compared with the week before.
- Monthly: the previous calendar month, compared with the month before.
- Revenue is shown in the currency most of the period’s payments used.
- With a [primary goal](https://metricraven.com/docs/goals-funnels) set, the report shows its conversions instead of the purchase rate.

> **Note:** A week without visits still sends a short report, so you notice if tracking stopped. Each report goes out once per person and period, even if delivery is retried.

## Preferences in the API

`GET` and `PATCH /api/v1/notifications?site=<website id>` read and change the calling member’s preferences (account token or dashboard session; a site key has no member).

```bash
curl -X PATCH "https://metricraven.com/api/v1/notifications?site=$SITE_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $METRICRAVEN_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"weeklyReport":true,"monthlyReport":true,"spikeAlerts":false,"timeZone":"Europe/Madrid"}'
