• Common and Advanced Meter Types.
  In the Create Meter view, the meter types have been divided into Common and Advanced tabs. Each meter type is presented with an example and its aggregation logic to help users quickly select the appropriate meter for their use case.
• Export meter data as CSV.
  We have added the ability to export meter data as a CSV file from within the UI. The data will be in raw format from usage responses, and users can decide whether to sort the data by meter, customer, or dimension. This streamlines reporting and analysis of usage activity and meter data with third-party tools.

Amberflo Billing Cloud

• Revenue-based triggers for Signals.
  We allow users to define Signals based on usage or revenue triggers. Additional advanced controls over the meter, the signal conditions (less than, greater than, equal to, or percent change), any limits or time intervals to be included, and the frequency to check if the conditions are met (daily, weekly, monthly, or real time). Signals can be set on the sum of all usage across customers, for each individual customer, or for specific individual customers.

  Amberflo natively integrates with Stripe for securely collecting payments from your customers. Simply create the customer in Stripe and add their Stripe ID to the customer traits in Amberflo then assign the customer to a Pricing Plan. Invoices will automatically be sent to Stripe for collection at the end of the billing cycle.

Separately, the [company] may have to reinvent its GTM: new AE quotas, sales materials, margin calculations.” Read the full post here.
