Batch Stripe expense outliers for approver sign-off
Scans new Stripe card transactions on a schedule, flags amounts that exceed category thresholds or statistical norms.

What it does
Pulls recent corporate-card charges from Stripe, scores each against per-category spending limits and a rolling median, and collects everything that looks off into one batched Trello list. Instead of pinging the approver per charge, it produces a single daily review queue and emails a summary link.
When to use it
Run this when your team uses Stripe Issuing or card payments for expenses and you want a human approver to review only the outliers — not every transaction. Ideal for finance ops that close books daily and dread scattered one-off approval requests.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule fires the run.
- 2Fetch transactions created since the last run from Stripe.
- 3A logic step compares each charge to its category cap and the trailing median; non-anomalous charges are dropped.
- 4Each flagged charge becomes a Trello card on an "Awaiting approval" list, with merchant, amount, and the reason it tripped.
- 5Gmail sends the approver a digest with the count, total dollar value, and a board link.
