Use case
Expense summary video for Data platforms
Automate monthly expense summaries with budget variance callouts.
Why Data platforms teams still ship reports manually
- Data reliability updates are buried in logs.
- Stakeholders lack visibility into pipeline health.
- Manual status emails take too long.
- Incidents need a consistent recap format.
Automate expense summary video with an API
- Trigger the workflow when monthly close completes happens.
- POST structured data to /render using template expense-summary-v1.
- Render asynchronously at scale and receive a webhook when the MP4 is ready.
- Deliver the video via email, ops dashboard, or Slack.
