API for managing recipients and filters
Gone are the days of manual recipient updates. With our brand-new API integration, you can now programmatically manage who receives reports and what filters are applied.
Key benefits:

- Keep delivery rules and recipient lists dynamic—no manual effort required
This means fully automated, tailored report distribution at scale.

Password-Protected Excel files
Data protection matters more than ever. That’s why we’ve added the ability to send Excel reports encrypted with a password.
What you can do:
- Define specific passwords for each playlist
- Automatically apply encryption when reports are sent
- Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive exported data
🛡️ More control, more confidence—without any extra steps.
