Snapshot() is always taking the snap from the admin view instead of the user view.

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hello all,

I am building an AppSheet app that calculates and generates a graph specific to each user. After the calculation, I want the app to take a snapshot of the user’s graph view and email it to them. However, the email that users receive contains a snapshot of the admin’s graph view instead of their own.

Here’s the email body script I am using. I have already filtered for the user by their email using USEREMAIL(). Despite this, the snapshot is still from the admin’s view.

Has anyone encountered this issue or knows how to make sure the snapshot is taken from the user’s view instead?

This is the email body for the snapshot:

How is the email initiated? If by a scheduled bot, the email will be generated by the account that owns the app. In that case, you’ll need to configure the app specifically to use a different user’s perspective.

Thanks a lot Steve,

The email is generated by a bot. I don’t mind the email being generated by the account that owns the app but I want the snapshot generated to be the users view. Do you know by any chance, how I should be doing that?
