[request] payment reminder for VPS, Domains, ETC
Hello, i was looking on codecanyon but i did not see anything for this.
do you have or use any payment reminder? sometimes i can't read emails on time due work/party/mobile.
how do you remind yourself when to pay the invoices... ( as i say, another method than email from provider)
Comments
calendar on your phone?
make entry, alarm, reminder on your smartphone
Google Calendar with email notification if the provider's notifications aren't reliable (if that's the case, change your provider imo).
I integrated this into my Google Spreadsheet that holds all of my services.
It's just an Apps Script, that checks the due dates once a day and sends me a mail if any (and which) service is due within the next two weeks.
Maybe this is a job for @emdad https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/96897/an-app-you-want-to-see-on-playstore-but-can-t-find
Actually
I think you should tell the IFTT team...
It should be farely easy for them to integrate..
If this date...send email ...sms...msg..push notification etc
Pen and piece of paper?
maybe will be a kind of tedious for 80-90 servers. i already have something like that.
If you have scaled to 90 server you would have solved this problem a long time ago. Once you get past ~10 billing dates you need a proper management process.
In the past I have used spreadsheets but these days I just find it easier to keep all my billing with one or two providers.
Yeah, not all are productive servers just 10-15 and those are up-to-date
but the others irc, vpn, dns, and many idle servers to test any app i find on the internet.
i found one in codecanyon but i wil check because no update from developer.
I can do this as a side project, but I've been thinking what is a reliable source of expiration dates? Manually added? Pull from WHMCS (which certainly requires it to be deployed on-premise at this point, since I don't want to host passwords)
How about putting your servers on a paypal subscription and then cancel the ones you don't.
Autopay is a good way to get rid of having suspended servers due to non payment.
i use this app and so far so good https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazier.apps.billsreminder&hl=en_GB
just add the order date and select billing term, month, quarter, anually.
the one i was looking is status of the server like nodequery or another one, and reminders, or links to solusvm, provider web/panel, interest links.
view all ips, size of disk, etc.
well it is a dream for now
