Any way to send the dashboard by email, perhaps on a schedule? #8

Any way to send the dashboard by email, perhaps on a schedule?

To start with, that's not the (initial) aim of this extension, services like https://cloudyn.com, http://azure-costs.com, etc. do a much better job. Don't expect me to build this as a feature any time soon, therefor I'll close this issue.

What would be an interesting reason to keep this issue open, is to use the outputs of the pipeline as the easy to use / flattened json-dataset for such a feature. For example, use the Azure DevOps pipeline-artifacts in an Azure Logic App to trigger a flow that uses this data to merge/send an email. I'd love to hear if that's possible or if I can do things to make that happen/easier!

@keesschollaart81 Cloudyn could be very good, but at the moment, it is quite fiddly, and only displays in USD currency, not GBP or EUR, and Azure-Costs.com is very nice, I agree, but to get the required functionality, you do have pay quite a lot of money, which is not idea if you do not have a huge enterprise (wrong pricing model, in my opinion). Your solution looks and works brilliantly - just wish it could send the graphs :)

Thanks for the nice words! 💯 With the current architecture, It's not trivial to build this and since I only have so much (weekend) time I can only lower your expectations for this feature.

To anyone who reads this later, let me know if this is a popular request by adding your 👍 to this issue!
