Snapshot() - Datasource dependent??

[Domearian]

How can I show multiple snapshots of a linked view and send in email. Big question is do all the views have to be in the same datasource? From my tests, I can't show mutliple datasources. I am using a Bot to create an email at a specific time but I must select a tablename. What if my views use different tables?

<<SNAPSHOT(LINKTOVIEW(“POWRA Graph by Month”))>> (Uses the "POWRA" Datasource)

<<SNAPSHOT(LINKTOVIEW(“POWRA Location Month Chart”))>> (Uses the "POWRA Month Numbers" Datasource

I want them both to be within the same PDF.

Just curious, couldn't you just do a better thing than taking an snapshot()? It's just an awful feature.
Check quickchart for example.

Unfortunately our organisation does not allow third party API usage.

Hope the below testing helps you. I tested with 

1. Charts drawn on two different tables. Included those two charts in the email body and PDF template using SNAPSHOT(0 function.

2. A data change bot firing on the data change in the third table.

3. All the three tables are in the same Google Sheet spreadsheet file.

The SNAPSHOT() based charts were included in the email as well as PDF generated.

The email fires when there is a change in a field in the Customers table. The charts included with SNAPSHOT() are from Orders and Products table.

Thank you. Very helpful.
