Short answer

How do I track usage based billing with my AI?

Tell your agent to log specific customer actions as they happen. The agent uses the Salesbricks connection to record these events immediately, ensuring your billing matches actual activity. You get a clean audit trail of usage events.

The outcomes.

Where your usage data lands.

Every event your agent captures ends up in one of these places.

LOGGED

Usage records created

The agent uses the connection to write usage data. You get a precise log of what happened and when.

VERIFIED

Billing accuracy

Usage events map directly to your billing logic. This removes the guesswork from calculating customer costs.

AUDITED

Event history

Every recorded action is stored for review. You can check these logs to resolve any billing disputes.

MANUAL

Human review needed

If an event looks unusual or exceeds a limit, the agent flags it. You decide if the usage is valid.
