Does KPImailer work with Qlik Cloud?

Yes. KPImailer connects to Qlik Cloud with an OAuth machine-to-machine client and uses webhooks for reload alerts. The same installation can also serve client-managed Qlik Sense.

Why run reporting on our own server if we use Qlik Cloud?

Some teams want report files to land in internal shares or databases, need to combine cloud and client-managed apps, or prefer to control where generated files are stored. KPImailer keeps that on infrastructure you manage.

Where KPImailer adds the most

The email is the report. Design the body with KPIs, charts, text and conditional sections, so people get the message without opening a file.
Bursting with dynamic recipients. One design, one copy per value, each to the address stored in your data.
Send rules. Only send when a measure crosses a threshold.
Destinations beyond email. SharePoint, OneDrive, shares and SQL databases.
Hybrid estates. One tool for Qlik Cloud and client-managed Qlik Sense.

When Qlik Reporting Service may be enough

If your reports are standard PDF or Excel attachments to fixed distribution lists, all in Qlik Cloud, the built-in service may cover what you need without another product.

More control than built-in cloud reporting.
