Google Data Studio export to PDF and scheduled email

Hopefully someone has tried creating this flow and/or could shed some light on this issue. Note, that the plugin devs replied that they won't be adding this feature anytime soon due to privacy concerns (they will need to include a server-side option to save the reports).

I'm curious about why you want to email the PDF. Why not just share the link to the Data Studio dashboard?

Good question. I guess it is a combination of client habit and convenience. Sharing the link is OK, but the biggest problem is that they need to login to google account. Another problem is the date range and the need to tell them to adjust the range, an option here would be to somehow "fix" the date range when sending out a monthly report. Sometimes report needs to be shared to upper ladders and PDFs are more convenient in that matter because the dates are fixed. That's to name a few.

Another minor inconvenience is not having the option to schedule emails, although email clients are a workaround.
