WHMCS billing based on the amount of emails sent

[vmunich]

I need some help to think. I got WHMCS API and Mailgun API.

 

My server uses Mailgun to send out emails. I want to bill my customers based on the amount of emails they've sent.

 

With Mailgun's API I can get the amount of emails my customers sent, but how would I make WHMCS get this information and bill them?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

You could write a script that pulls from the mailgun api and then bill the customer by adding a billable item via whmcs api.

You could also use the api to create an invoice with the charge as a line item

Thank you jclarke, that gave me a place to start.

I would make this script as a cron job then? So let's suppose, at the end of every month, the script would run and add the billable item + generate an invoice. Am I correct?

 

Thanks.

I would maybe update clients every day on how many emails they have sent.

Yes, I would set it up as a cron to run one a month and generate the invoice.
