# Create Email Reports in Matomo Analytics

**[Matomo Analytics](/support/website/analytics/install-matomo-analytics/) allows setting up automated reports and sending those reports immediately** within the dashboard. Automating these customized analytics reports help users understand visitors to their websites while focusing on improving users’ experience. It also means users don’t need to fill out [contact forms to request reports](/support/email/using-the-php-mail-function-to-send-emails/). You can further customize these reports by [adding branding to Matomo](/support/website/analytics/add-branding-matomo-analytics/).
