Use Case

SaaS Investor & Stakeholder Reporting

Automate weekly investor updates and stakeholder reports by capturing Stripe, Analytics, and Mixpanel dashboard screenshots.

Overview

Investor updates, board meetings, and stakeholder reports all need current metrics. But logging into every dashboard, grabbing screenshots, and compiling them into presentations is a weekly time sink. Screenshotly automates the capture-and-deliver workflow for SaaS founders and ops teams.

This use case is specifically about SaaS business reporting — Stripe MRR, Google Analytics traffic, Mixpanel funnels, and internal KPI dashboards. Our API supports authenticated sessions so you can capture behind-login dashboards securely. Schedule captures to run before your Monday stand-up or Friday investor email, and the latest metrics snapshots are always ready.

The output goes into investor update emails, Notion pages, or Google Slides decks. Instead of spending Friday afternoon screenshotting dashboards, you get consistent, professional snapshots delivered automatically. Founders running monthly investor updates use this to include visual proof of metrics growth without manual effort.

  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: 'https://dashboard.yourapp.com/metrics',
    device: 'desktop',

    cookies: [

    ],
  }),
});

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I capture authenticated dashboards without exposing credentials?

Pass session cookies via the cookies parameter instead of embedding credentials in URLs. Generate short-lived session tokens specifically for screenshot capture, and rotate them regularly for security.

What viewport size works best for dashboard screenshots?

Use 1920x1080 for standard dashboards. For dashboards with many panels, consider 2560x1440 or use fullPage: true to capture all panels in a single image regardless of viewport height.

Can I automate weekly investor report screenshots?

Yes. Use a cron job or GitHub Actions to call the API every Monday morning, capture each dashboard panel, and attach the images to an email template or Slack message sent to stakeholders.

How do I handle dashboards that require login?

Generate an authenticated session token server-side and pass it as a cookie in the API request. Alternatively, use a service account with read-only access and inject its session cookie at capture time.
