How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerWebhook receives flagged anomaly batchHTTP webhook
  • ActionResolve account owner + cost center from SnowflakeSnowflakeSnowflake
  • LogicSplit new anomalies from already-tracked ones
  • ActionCreate Monday explanation items for new anomaliesmonday.com
  • ActionUpdate existing Monday items with latest variancemonday.com
  • OutputPost routing summary to close-status SlackSlack

What it does

This workflow turns a list of flagged anomalies into accountable work. For each anomaly it resolves the account owner from a mapping table, then opens a Monday item that captures the account, the variance amount, and a required explanation field, with a due date set ahead of the lock deadline. Items that already exist for the same account and period are updated rather than duplicated.

When to use it

Use it right after your variance scan produces flags. It is for controllers who need an auditable trail showing who explained each unusual movement and when, instead of chasing explanations over email.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook receives the batch of flagged anomalies from the upstream scan.
  2. 2A Snowflake lookup maps each GL account to its responsible owner and cost center.
  3. 3A logic step splits new anomalies from ones already tracked for the current period.
  4. 4New anomalies create Monday items with owner, variance, and a blank required explanation field.
  5. 5Existing items are updated in Monday with the latest variance figure.
  6. 6A confirmation summary is posted to the close-status Slack channel.
