Announcing budget usage alerts and webhooks

- Webhooks
Accounts email the creator at 80% and 100%. Pick up to two percents, or subscribe to a webhook that fires on every new whole percent.
You can now hear from Pingram as an account uses its monthly budget. Accounts can now send an email to the creator at 80% and 100%. Pick up to two percents of your own, or subscribe to ACCOUNT_USAGE and receive a signed POST each time spend crosses a new whole percent.
The two are independent. Email alerts do not turn the webhook on, and subscribing to the webhook does not send the emails.
Email alerts
Open Settings → Plan & Billing and turn usage alerts on.
- Drag up to two percents, in steps of 5
- Add up to three email addresses
- Each selected percent sends once per billing period
A jump that passes both percents sends both emails together. If the monthly budget changes mid-period, those percents can email again against the new budget. Turning alerts off keeps the addresses and percents you saved.
Usage webhook
On the Webhooks screen, add ACCOUNT_USAGE to any endpoint. You can subscribe more than one URL. Each call is signed the same way as delivery events, so existing verification keeps working.
Pingram sends one POST when the whole percent increases. A jump from 40% to 43% is a single event. The next period starts again from 1%.
Removing ACCOUNT_USAGE, or deleting the endpoint, stops further posts.
Getting started
- For email, open Plan & Billing, choose thresholds and addresses, and save
- For the webhook, open Webhooks, edit an endpoint, and select
ACCOUNT_USAGE - Verify the signature the same way you verify other Pingram events
Event fields are listed under Events Webhook.
