Add an item to the user's Monzo feed when Alexa freezes a card #19

Open Geit opened 8 years ago

At the moment, Alexa could freeze a card without the actual owner of the card knowing (e.g. if your children are feeling particularly spiteful). We should push a notification/feed item to Monzo to inform the user of the freeze.

This should potentially be raised as a Monzo bug - i.e. trigger a "Card frozen via API" notification.

Geit commented 8 years ago

Adding a feed item was actually their suggested way of dealing with this - the reasoning being that not every application will need to notify the user that the card has been frozen (i.e. in the 90% of cases where the application is entirely trusted).

Oh okay... seems slightly odd to me to rely on every API user to implement the same thing*, but hey-ho.

*(especially considering that if there were an 'API application ID' of some kind, Monzo could just trigger "Card frozen by "; then it's guaranteed implemented, and consistent.)
