Azure Services

Hello Sara,

As per you question, best Azure Services for daily email & report distribution
Azure Functions
    Run scheduled jobs (e.g., daily at 8 AM).
    Handles email generation, formatting, and logic.
    Serverless and cost-effective.

Azure Logic Apps (optional or alternative to Functions)
    No-code/low-code workflows to send emails, trigger from files, etc.
    Great for sending emails to multiple teams or integrating with Outlook/Teams.

Azure Blob Storage
    Store the generated reports (PDF, Excel, etc.).
    Share via download links or attach to emails.

SendGrid (via Azure Marketplace)
    Reliable email delivery service.
    Supports templates, tracking, and high-volume sending.

Azure Key Vault
    Securely store API keys (like SendGrid) and email credentials.

Azure Application Insights
    Monitor success/failure of email jobs and performance.

How It Works (Simple Flow)
    Azure Function (Scheduled) – Generates report + triggers email.
    Blob Storage – Stores the report file.
    SendGrid API – Sends the email with the report attached or linked.
    Application Insights – Logs and alerts if something fails.

Good Luck!

Can you suggest that we use most of the service for daily mail sending to our customers and that reports are sent to different teams. For this scenario which one is suitable
