Answer
In the Lightning Payroll desktop version, sending a report by email is quick and simple. Follow these steps to email any report:
- Open a report preview in Lightning Payroll.
- Click on the envelope icon at the top of the report preview.
- Enter the recipient's email address. You can send to multiple addresses by separating them with a comma. The software will remember these addresses for future convenience.
- Optionally, you can add a personalised message for the email body.

Troubleshooting Email Issues
If you encounter errors related to email settings not being configured, you can update your preferences as follows:
- Go to Company screen.
- Select the Email tab.
- Tick the box for Have Lightning Payroll send emails for you, instead of using your own email provider?
This setting will allow Lightning Payroll to handle emails directly, avoiding potential configuration issues with your own email provider.
