Integration
Hornetsecurity in IDA: bill email security instead of counting mailboxes
With email security the mailbox count changes constantly - and that is exactly what the invoice depends on. IDA reconciles the quantities held in the control panel with the contract automatically, instead of counting them at month end.
This integration feeds subscription quantities straight intocontract billing- to the day, with pro-rata charges for additions.
What IDA reads from Hornetsecurity
- Mailboxes held per customer
- Booked packages and additional services
- Changes between two runs
What IDA does with it
- The contract quantity follows the actual mailbox count - to the day, not estimated
- Additions are charged pro rata, not only in the following month
- Quantities are only adopted once two consecutive runs report the same thing - a reorganisation in the control panel never writes an interim state onto an invoice
Who it is for
IT service providers reselling Hornetsecurity who no longer want to maintain the billing by hand.
Setup: Store API access, map customers, define the item per package - the reconciliation then runs automatically.
Every integration in IDA has its own switch. Turn it off and it disappears completely - including the columns, filters and reports that belong to it. You only see what you actually use.
Vendor website: Hornetsecurity. Hornetsecurity is a trademark of its respective owner; IDA connects to the system technically, which implies no partnership.

Questions about the Hornetsecurity integration
Does IDA change quantities behind our back?
No. Changes run through a traceable reconciliation with a log, and every quantity change written stays visible in the audit journal.
What about cancellations mid-month?
The quantity follows the actual estate. How pro-rata is calculated is your decision per source in the settings.
