How to configure weekly emails
To manage your weekly email preferences:

Click Notifications.
Use the individual switches to turn the Weekly Project Portfolio Snapshot and Weekly Project Performance Pulse emails on or off.
Under Delivery day & time, choose when you want the enabled weekly emails to arrive.
For the Project Performance Pulse, select the specific projects you want included.
Manage your other email notifications
The Settings → Notifications page also lets you control other optional emails.
You can:
Turn rank alert emails on or off.
Turn warnings about your keyword limit on or off.
Choose which projects can send you rank alert emails.
Limit how often alert emails arrive.
Under Email me at most, choose one of these alert email frequencies:
Once every hour

Once a day
Once a week
Turning off alert emails or excluding a project only changes which alerts are emailed to you. You can still see alerts from every project on the Alerts page.
What to expect
Enabled weekly emails arrive on your selected day and at your selected time.
The delivery time is displayed in your timezone.
Metrics reflect ranking performance based on your subscription plan.
The reports summarize movement and overall keyword health; they do not provide granular ranking-by-ranking detail like the dashboard.
If no major changes occurred, the summary may reflect stable performance.
