No, you do not need to execute the edr report command before running edr send-report. The edr send-report command will generate the report itself before uploading or sending it to the specified platform (such as Slack, S3, or GCS). Running edr report separately is only necessary if you want to generate and view the report locally first, but it is not a prerequisite for edr send-report. This is confirmed in both the documentation and community discussions: > "edr send-report generates the report on its own before uploading it to S3" > [Slack discussion](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1681289959957829) > "edr send-report - generates a report and uploads it to a platform of your choice..." > [Slack discussion](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1689284395118479) So, you can simply run edr send-report without running edr report first.
