Hi @Sprankle  ,
Unfortunately, directly generating and sending reports on a schedule isn’t a native feature of Flow Designer in ServiceNow. Flow Designer is great for automating tasks, but report scheduling and distribution is best handled through Scheduled Reports in the Reporting module. This allows you to:

  • Run reports on a specific time or recurring basis (daily, weekly, etc.).

  • Specify recipients for the report.

  • Choose the output format (PDF, CSV, Excel).

If you need to include reports in a flow, you can combine Flow Designer with custom scripts, REST APIs, or use workarounds to retrieve generated reports.

Helpful references & examples:

It is not supported out of box. You can create a custom action and call it in your Flow and design your actions to attach it to a record or send email notifications.

 

Refer below post for reference to generate reports,

You can use PDFGenerationAPI if you want to share reports in PDF format
