PreviewAug 6, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

Automations in Snowflake CoWork are now in Public Preview. An automation turns a one-time report into a recurring one: Snowflake CoWork re-runs your question with fresh data on the schedule you choose and emails you the results, including a summary and key metrics, along with a link that opens the full report so you can ask follow-up questions.
