  • OutputLog outstanding request as Awaiting EmployeeAirtableAirtable

What it does

Closes the loop on flagged reports. Instead of a reviewer manually writing 'please fix line 3,' the flow generates a precise fix request listing each problem item and what's needed (a receipt, a justification, or a corrected amount), emails it to the submitter, and records the outstanding request so it can be chased.

When to use it

Use this after a pre-audit step has already flagged a report and you want the correction request to go out instantly and consistently, with the same professional tone every time.

How it works

  1. 1A flagged-report event (from your pre-audit table or upstream flow) triggers the run.
  2. 2The flow gathers every flagged line item and its specific deficiency.
  3. 3An OpenAI step drafts a clear, itemized fix request with a reply-by date and the policy reason for each item.
  4. 4The request is emailed to the submitting employee from the finance mailbox via Outlook.
  5. 5The outstanding fix request is logged to Airtable with status Awaiting Employee so reviewers can track and escalate.
