Real-Time Uncoded Expense Nudge on New Spend Event

When a new expense lands without a GL code, a webhook fires and the workflow immediately Slack-nudges the spending owner to code it on the spot.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerWebhook fires on new spend eventHTTP webhook
  • LogicCheck if transaction is missing GL code/accrual flag
  • ActionLook up spending owner in SnowflakeSnowflakeSnowflake
  • ActionDM owner a code-it-now nudge in SlackSlack
  • OutputRecord nudge to dedupe same-day re-pings

What it does

This flips the chase from reactive to preventive. The moment a new transaction arrives without a GL code, an incoming webhook triggers the workflow, it confirms the line is genuinely uncoded in Snowflake, identifies the spending owner, and sends them a Slack nudge to code it right away with a one-click link. Catching coding gaps at the moment of spend means the month-end accrual list stays short.

When to use it

Use when your expense or card system can post a webhook on new spend and you want to stop month-end fire drills by coding transactions as they happen. Best for teams with steady transaction volume and an appetite to enforce discipline early.

How it works

  1. 1An incoming webhook fires when a new spend event is posted.
  2. 2A logic step checks whether the transaction is missing a GL code or accrual flag.
  3. 3If coded already, it exits; if uncoded, it looks up the owner in Snowflake.
  4. 4A Slack action DMs the owner a nudge with the transaction details and a coding link.
  5. 5An output records the nudge so the same line is not re-pinged within the day.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect SnowflakeWarehouses, queries, shares.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
