Actually… I may have panicked a little and got my facts wrong.

I think it is possible to do this using the ‘Schedule a PM with [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) results’ automation. This will send a PM, which (depending on your ‘Email me when I am sent a personal message’ preferences) will also send out an email.

You can also set an email as the recipient directly too. 👍

You would need to give that group access to the report first from the query so they’re authorised to receive it:

They’re simple lists though, so may not be quite what you’re looking for:
