Automated job to send email about data usage

I am constantly travelling, and am almost always concerned about my data usage.  I do receive texts when my usage passes certain thresholds, but they don’t keep me as informed as I would like.  While I can definitely log in and check my usage, it would be extremely convenient to have a summary report mailed to me every day or so, just so I keep on top of it.  I could also write or use some python code to scrape the site (eg https://github.com/psobot/koodo-prepaid-api -- since there’s no real public API) but having this report provided would be better!

Cheers and thank you,

jz

Daily emails seems to be too much. I am not sure if we really need it given the data usage report in selfserve. Someone later would request daily report for the call history and text. Someone would request detail daily incoming call or report any towers that they were connected to …

The more things to do, the more chances for error and maintenance » pay more?

Hi there!

I posted the idea because for me an email would be better  than self serve,  With self serve I have to go to the login page, wait for login, go to the usage, and click for details. That’s four steps, whereas with an email it’s right in my inbox, and I don’t have to take any time.  It would be much more convenient for me.

As for the other reports, people could suggest that if they want, but that would be separate ideas.  Since data usage is probably top-of-mind for many people, this idea may be more practical.

As for implementation, let’s leave that to the engineers :-).  I’m a developer by profession and so can say that it is relatively easy to implement, though every environment has its challenges.

 Cheers, jz
