Get Vision AI Data in Your Inbox with Summary Reports

Summary Reports in Vision Events allow your team to receive recurring reports about what your vision systems are seeing and detecting. You can describe the report you want to receive, select a schedule and the people who should get it, and Roboflow will then email it to them. You don't need to write a query, build a spreadsheet, or set up your own email server.

Your cameras record every inspection, every pass and fail, and every dangerous situation. Vision Events stores all of it, and anyone who opens the built-in dashboard can see it.

But the people who most need the numbers (the plant manager, the quality lead, the site supervisor) rarely open a dashboard. They hear about last week’s results in a status meeting, or when someone pulls a spreadsheet together, or not at all. Summary Reports put those numbers in their inbox on a schedule.

What Vision Data Lands in Your Email Inbox

Every time a report runs, each recipient gets a short email with the report’s name, the period it covers, up to four headline numbers, and a button to open the full report.

You choose the headline numbers: counts of passes and fails, an average from your own metadata, or the value your events created. Someone glancing at their phone on Monday morning gets the answer without opening anything.

When they want more, the “View Full Report” button opens the whole report in Roboflow, with charts by day, breakdowns by site or line, and the most recent events that need attention.

Describe the Vision AI Report You Want

You build a report by describing it in plain language. Open a Use Case in Vision Events, go to the Reports tab, and type what you want:

"A weekly Monday 8 AM summary for the site manager: pass and fail counts, events by site, and the 10 most recent failed checks."

The Roboflow Agent drafts the report and previews it on your real data. It only uses fields your events contain, so if you ask for something your cameras don’t send, it tells you instead of guessing. Ask for changes in the chat (“add a chart of failures per day,” “group it by line,” “send it every other week”) until it looks right, then click Save & Schedule.

A report can include up to eight sections: single numbers, bar, line, area, pie, and donut charts, tables grouped by site, line, device, or any field your events carry, a list of recent events, and a summary of operator feedback.

Built for the People Who Act on It

Schedules and recipients

Choose daily, weekly, every other week, or monthly, a send time, and the timezone your team works in. Recipients are picked from your workspace members, up to 25 per report. Each report covers whole days in that timezone, so Monday's weekly report covers exactly the week before.

Report history

Each run is saved exactly as it went out, even after the events behind it age out of your retention window. Open a report's history to see any past week, re-send the link, or refresh it against the latest data to see what changed since.

How the numbers are calculated

The Roboflow Agent writes only the report’s definition. Each scheduled run computes its results directly from your events the same way every time, with no AI involved. Your figures always come straight from your event data, and each run costs almost nothing no matter how many people receive it.

Example reports

• Production quality: a Monday summary of passes and fails by line for the plant manager, with the most recent failures listed for the quality lead.
• Safety: a daily count of people detected in restricted zones by site, sent to each site’s safety supervisor.
• Multi-site operations: one weekly report per Use Case that compares sites side by side, so regional managers see every location in one email.
• Model health: a weekly share of predictions that operators marked incorrect, so the vision team knows when a model needs more training data.
