CHATBOTS

Weekly policy-change impact digest

On a schedule, the workflow re-simulates recent draft expenses against the current policy and posts a digest of which pending submissions would now fail and why.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerWeekly schedule fires

  • LogicKeep at-risk records and group by employee
  • OutputPost the impact digest to finance SlackSlack

What it does

Runs the what-if simulator in reverse: instead of one employee checking one purchase, it sweeps all draft and pending expenses on a schedule and re-scores them against the latest policy. It surfaces the submissions that would be rejected or trimmed, grouped by employee and reason, so finance can nudge people before the approval deadline.

When to use it

Run it weekly ahead of payroll or expense-cutoff dates, especially after a policy update, when employees may have drafted expenses under the old rules.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires the run (e.g., every Monday morning).
  2. 2Pending and draft expense records are read from Airtable along with the current policy ruleset.
  3. 3The model re-simulates each record and labels it pass, trim, or reject with a reason.
  4. 4A logic step keeps only the at-risk records and groups them by owner.
  5. 5The digest is posted to the finance Slack channel with per-employee callouts and the dollar impact of each issue.
