Use case
Expense summary video for SaaS
Automate monthly expense summaries with budget variance callouts.
Why SaaS teams still ship reports manually
- Dashboards require users to interpret charts manually.
- Email and PDF reports are skimmed or ignored.
- Weekly insights get lost without a narrative.
- Manual video creation doesn't scale across customers.
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 in-app, email, or customer portal.
