I'm just starting to use workflows. Is there a way to send a saved search (csv export) in an email when a record is created or updated?

Hi Hana. Yes, but easier with a saved search email if I am not mistaken.
h
I am only able to send csv exports based on the schedule. I am wanting to email these csvs with every change. I can set up duplicates of the saved search for each hour I want to send out but that is a lot of duplication and I will have to edit each search every time I need to fix the search.

I don't believe this can be done without scripting

@Hana Roessler You cannot just send emails using the 'send email alerts when records are created/updated' option (rather than a schedule)? This is very easy to do in saved searches, so I want to make sure you've fully explored the options there.

@James Morris the problem I am having there is that it sends only the record that has been updated instead of the entire saved search in a csv file.

hrmm...see what you mean. Let me take a peek, I think there's some trick here to get what you want.
but forget exactly what I've done

Thanks for the help!

@Hana Roessler So....I didn't really find a solution to your question, but I did find something that might help
So looking back, I ran into the same problem you're having, and didn't find a solution. What I did, was to put the link to the saved search in the email, and just force people to click on it and download it themselves
but that only works if they have access to NetSuite

Okay thanks for looking into it!

Yeah, only other option is scripting as Kevin mentioned
