Overview

The Financial Forecast insight is a schedule-triggered insight that offers a projected view of users’ finances for a given duration (decided by the frequency) considering all their aggregated bank and card accounts.

The Predicted Cash Flow feature should be enabled as a pre-requisite for this insight.

Following are the additional details for the insight:

Insight Name	FINANCIAL_FORECAST
Applicable Entity	ACCOUNT
Insight Type	AGGREGATE
Trigger Type	SCHEDULE
Supported Containers	BANK, CARD

Use Cases

Customer:

User:
- Financial wellness - Confidently plan ahead.

Suggested Action

Suggest the users to plan their finances accordingly with some additional buffer.

Duplicate Insight Checks

To prevent the same insight from generating repeatedly, the insight is generated once per scheduled frequency for a user.

Following are the applicable frequencies for this insight:

Frequency	Description
DAILY	The insight will be triggered daily. Duplicate check will evaluate if the insight instance that matches the duplicate check criteria exists for the current day from 12:00 AM same day to the time of insight evaluation.
WEEKLY	The insight will be triggered once every Monday. Duplicate check will evaluate if the insight instance that matches the duplicate check criteria exists for the current calendar week (Monday to Sunday). For example: Normal scenario: If the calendar week starts from 1st January to 7th January, the insight is triggered on 1st January. Dynamic trigger scenario: If the calendar week starts from 1st January to 7th January, and the user triggers an insight on 3rd January using dynamic trigger, duplicate check happens from 1st January to 3rd January.
MONTHLY	The insight will be triggered once on the first day of the calendar month. Duplicate check will evaluate if the insight instance that matches the duplicate check criteria exists for the current calendar month (1st of the calendar month to the last day of the month). For example: Normal scenario: If the calendar month starts from 1st January to 31st January, the insight is triggered on 1st January. Dynamic trigger scenario: If the calendar month starts from 1st January to 31st January, and the user triggers an insight on 3rd January using dynamic trigger, duplicate check happens from 1st January to 3rd January.

GET Insight Feeds

The GET insights feed API retrieves all or a subset of the valid insight notifications generated for a particular user. However, using the insightName filter, you can specifically request for the Financial Forecast insight.

The entityId filter does not apply to this insight.

Calculation Logic for Derived Attributes:

totalAvailableBalance = Sum of available balance (bank) & available credit (card)
predictedBalance = availableBalance + (Sum of all the transactions where the baseType is identified as credit) - (Sum of all the transactions where the baseType is identified as debit)
predictedIncome = Sum of all the transactions where the baseType is identified as credit.
predictedExpense = Sum of all the transactions where the baseType is identified as debit.

Method and URL:

GET /insights/feed

Header Parameters:

Key	Value
`Authorization`	Client credentials-based authorization	`Bearer {{Access Token}}`
	API key-based authentication	`Bearer {{JWT Token_Customer}}`
	Deprecated cobrand and user credential-based authentication	`cobSession={cobSession received in the cobrand login service}, userSession={userSession received in the user login service}`
`Content-Type`	`application/json`
`Api-Version`	`3.0`
	`2.1`
	`2`
`Cobrand-Name`	`{Name of the Customer}`
