The docs say Save Screen action applies to queries displayed as charts.
Can it be used for grid queries as well?
Away from my laptop or I would test for myself.

My goal is to send pics of charts, grids, and potentially VPs to users via email or Slack message on a schedule.
This is part of a Proof of Concept to replace a BI tool with Aware functionality.

Re: “Save Screen”
I am fairly sure this function only works in real time i.e when a user is logged into an app and press a button i.e it doesn't work via scheduled processes etc..
I have done something similar to what you are after and I used HTML charts and data presentation (queries) etc. and compiled it all into a PDF (in scheduled processes) i.e what you want is possible.

Re: “Save Screen”
I used different HTML "components" e.g charts, queries etc. and had what I needed in different HTML pages e.g 1 HTML page for 1 particular chart, 1 HTML page for a query etc. etc. and also in many cases, 1 HTML page with different components together on the same page. These HTML pages are then used as document templates in Aware and I guess you have worked with some type of HTML document template before so you know how that works (you have a process that gather the data you need which you put in context and then the process export the HTML document template to a temp directory on your server). The different end result HTML pages i.e the result from the export of the document templates are then converted to PDF via https://wkhtmltopdf.org/.
Some examples of HTML charts and queries:
