Each morning at 8am, get a short Slack update with your Cap balance, weekly recording burn, and how many days of runway you have left.
Cap
Slack BotOperationsEngineeringNotifications & AlertsDaily DigestsEvery morning at 8am, run a Cap credit burn rate health check and post the result to a Slack ops channel. This is an agent workflow on a cron trigger.
Step 1. Call Cap Get Usage to read the current balance (balanceMicroCredits) and the aggregate video stats.
Step 2. Call Cap List Videos for the last 7 days so you can see daily recording volume and total duration per day. Use the createdAt and duration fields to bucket videos by day.
Step 3. Compute three numbers: today's spend so far, the 7-day moving average daily burn (Cap charges 5,000 micro-credits per minute of video), and how many days of runway remain at the current 7-day average pace. Convert micro-credits to dollars using 100,000 micro-credits = $1.
Step 4. Use Slack Bot Send a Message to post to the channel #cap-ops. Include: the current balance in dollars, the 7-day average daily burn (in dollars and minutes), the projected days of runway, and a clearly marked flag if today's recording minutes are more than 1.5x the 7-day average OR if projected runway is under 14 days.
Keep the message short and skippable on normal days (one or two lines is fine). Only get loud when a flag fires. Use Slack mrkdwn formatting (*bold* for the flag line, plain text for the numbers). The exact wording and emphasis can vary day to day, which is why this is an agent workflow rather than a fixed script.
What does this prompt do?
- Every morning at 8am, checks your Cap balance and the past week of recordings.
- Calculates a 7-day average burn rate and projects how many days of runway you have left at the current pace.
- Posts a short, skippable Slack message to your ops channel with balance in dollars, weekly burn, and projected runway.
- Loudly flags days where recording volume spikes above 1.5x the weekly average, or where runway drops under 14 days.
What do I need to use this?
- A Cap account and a developer Secret Key from the Cap dashboard.
- A Slack workspace with the General Input bot installed.
- The name of the Slack channel where you want the daily update to land (for example, #cap-ops).
How can I customize it?
- Change the time of day or restrict it to weekdays only.
- Adjust the spike threshold (default 1.5x the weekly average) or the runway warning (default under 14 days).
- Swap the destination channel, send it as a direct message, or tag a specific person when a flag fires.
