I currently need to send a weekly report of certain Fogbugz activity to management. The way I do this is by having predefined reports (bar and chart filters) which I then manually copy paste from Fogbugz into an email on a weekly basis.

I would love to automate this process. All that would be needed (from the user's perspective anyhow) would be to use the xml-api to fetch one of these pre-defined reports (filters) and have it return an image which I could then embed into an automatically generated mail.

This kind of functionality would also enable the creation of dashboards.

Any chance of this making it to a future version of Fogbugz?

I'm sure this can be automated using your favorite scripting language. Like with one of the answers to superuser.com/questions/75614/… – Michel de Ruiter♦ Sep 26 2011 at 7:00
Thanks, but having some experience with GUI automated testing this approach would likely not be very reliable. In addition to having a machine with a browser running I would need to synchronize the browser navigation and screenshots as I would need multiple reports from different filters. I already have a script that fetches data from filters using the xml api and sends an email from it, but currently it is only text based. – Roman Sep 26 2011 at 8:36
