# Email reports

Pastmark can email you a short summary of your site activity every day or every week.

Go to `User Activity → Settings → Email Reports`.

[![The Email Reports tab: Daily Activity Log Report with Enable Daily Report, Daily Send Time and Recipients, and Weekly Activity Log Report with Enable Weekly Report, Weekly Send Day and Weekly Send Time](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/pastmark-settings-email-reports-1.webp)](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/pastmark-settings-email-reports-1.webp)
User Activity → Settings → Email Reports. The recipient address is hidden in this picture.

The **weekly report is on by default**. It goes every Friday at 9:00 PM to your site's admin email. Turn off **Enable Weekly Report** if you do not want it.

## The settings

| Setting | Default | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Enable Daily Report** | Off | Sends a report every day. |
| **Daily Send Time** | 8:00 PM | When the daily report is sent. |
| **Recipients** | Admin email | Who gets the report. Enter one email address per line. |
| **Enable Weekly Report** | On | Sends a report every week. |
| **Weekly Send Day** | Friday | The day of the weekly report. |
| **Weekly Send Time** | 9:00 PM | When the weekly report is sent. |

Times use your site's time zone (`Settings → General → Timezone`). Click **Submit** to save.

## What is in the reports

- **Daily report:** total events, critical events, active users, and the top event categories of the day.
- **Weekly report:** total events in 7 days, the average per day, critical events, active users, the top categories of the week, and the number of events for each day.

## Send a test email

Click **Send Test Email** to check that your site can send the report.

If no email arrives:

1. Check your spam folder.
2. Check the address under **Recipients**.
3. Many hosts do not send WordPress emails well. Install an SMTP plugin to send emails through a real email service.

The reports are sent by WordPress's scheduled tasks (WP-Cron). WP-Cron runs when someone visits your site. On a site with very few visitors, a report can arrive late.

Pastmark logs its own report emails like all other email. When **Email Sent** is on, you see them in the log. Read [Email log](/docs/pastmark/what-pastmark-records/email-log/).
