Real-Time Stripe Card Spend Outlier Flagging
Watches Stripe Issuing card authorizations as they happen, scores each charge against your expense policy bands.

What it does
Every time an employee's Stripe Issuing card is authorized, this workflow checks the charge against your category spending limits (meal caps, hotel nightly rates, single-purchase ceilings) and merchant rules. Charges that fall outside policy are pushed to a manager review channel within seconds, while clean charges pass silently.
When to use it
Run this when you issue corporate cards through Stripe and want to catch policy breaches at the moment of purchase instead of three weeks later during reconciliation. Best for finance teams that already encode per-category limits and want a low-noise alerting layer.
How it works
- 1A Stripe authorization event fires the workflow with the merchant, amount, and category.
- 2A logic step compares the amount and MCC against your policy band table and computes an overage percentage.
- 3In-policy charges exit quietly; only out-of-band ones continue.
- 4An OpenAI step writes a one-line plain-English explanation of which rule tripped and by how much.
- 5A Slack message lands in the manager channel with Approve and Dispute buttons linking back to the Stripe transaction.
